AR
What does AR stand for?
Automation & Robotics
What will be the result of the following pseudocode? (Use arrows & draw your answer)
A square
Name this mechanical gear & sensor.
Chain drive, ultrasonic range finder
What is the name of the gear in between the drive gear and the driven/driving gear that changes the rotational direction?
Idler gear
If the output gear is SMALLER than the input gear, what happens to the speed in both gears?
Input = (answer)
Output = (answer)
Speed decreases for the input gear
Speed increases for the output gear
What is the first step of the engineering process?
Define the problem
This is a set of coded instructions that is uploaded to the brain and the robot must follow. (Hint: the answer is not coding, initials are C.P.)
Computer program
What is the name for the following pieces?
Shaft collars or collars, "C" channel
What is the name of the input gear that can transmit power and motion to the rest of the system?
Drive gear (source of power)
Rotary/rotating, lead & screw
The design, construction, and operations of a robot is called?

B. Go forward for 3 sec and then turn left 90 degrees
C. Drive forward then wait 3 sec
D. None of the above.
A. Follow the path to reach a goal
What is the name of the following piece?

What is the term used for a push or pull in a circular direction AND what term is used for a push or pull in general?
Which term is used for the results of the operation of any system?
Output
If I arranged two or more pieces that caused the system to work together, what is this process/term called?
Mechanism

What kind of engineer creates the pseudocode on a robotics team?
Software engineer
What is the torque of this mechanism from input to output? (increasing, decreasing, constant, getting slower)
Increasing
What is the process of locating trouble and making repairs to machinery or technical equipment?
What are ways that we measure the size of gears? (Hint: 3 different ways)
Diameter of gears, number of teeth, rotation count
List the 4 types of motion
Oscillating, linear, rotary, reciprocating
1000 points. Which mechanical gear is used for the pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disc that changes rotary motion into reciprocating motion?
Crank & slider
