200
What are different types of sensors ?
Motion, light, sound, distance
200
What is gear ratio ?
For example, if a motor drives a 60T gear to a driven 12T gear on a wheel, when the 60T driving gear rotates once, the 12T driven gear rotates five (5) times.
200
What does DCMotor.RunMode.RUN_TO_POSITION do ?
Sets the DC motor to a particular position
200
What does human player do and how it is different from drivers ?
Human player helps to give or place pieces for robot when driver is not operating
200
What are the 5 types of matter?
The five common states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
300
What are gears used for ?
Control speed and torque
300
What is torque ?
Torque is a twisting force that causes rotation
- r: is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied (also known as the lever arm or moment arm).
F: is the magnitude of the force applied.
θ : (theta) is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm
300
What does below do ?
if (ganepad1.right_bumper)
hingeOffset += HINGE_SPEED
and what happens if HINGE_SPEED is increased

400
Which are smaller than Texas - Germany, UK, Algeria ?
Germany, UK
500
What is difference between servo motor and normal motor ?
Servo motors are designed for precise position control and have feedback mechanism to ensure they reach and maintain a desired position. Normal motors rotate continuously.
500
What is 'play' in mechanical design ?
Refers to the clearance or lost motion between two mating parts of a mechanism. This gap or slack can cause unwanted movement or "slop" when the direction of motion is reversed
500
What does telemetry() do ?
Sends signals to controller.
500
