What should your robot do before it starts working?
it gets its sensors and motors ready

What block start the program?
When Started Block
What is Drive Velocity?
It Makes the robot faster to speed up things.
Which sensor detects color?
How does the robot know when it has bumped into something?
Color sensor
Bumper sensor
Why do you use an If-Then block in programming?
To tell the robot to make choices based on what’s happening.
How can you earn extra points in VEX IQ challenges?
Your robot earns points by doing tasks all by itself and no driver needed
What is a variable used for in coding?
to store data
What does stop driving mean?
it forces the robot to stop
What sensor detects how fast a wheel is turning?
The sensor that detects how fast a wheel is turning is a rotation sensor.
What if the robot give two different sensors?
the program will have to trust one of the sensors or probably use both of the sensors
Why is writing good code important for scoring points?
Because it helps your robot do what it's supposed to do without messing up.
How do you stop a running program?
Use the stop block or end the program
What is a turn velocity?
A turn velocity for the robot turns faster
How can a robot detect line markings on the floor?
The robot uses a Color or line tracker Sensor
How do loops help you with your robot
It helps because let's say you wanna turn right and you wanna loop it twice it will turn 2 times
How does using sensors help you get more points?
