Movement
These small motors move a specific number of degrees and then stop.
What are servos?
This device detects how bright or dark an area is.
What is a light sensor?
When an output signal controls the input signal it's called this.
What is a feedback loop?
This is the Ideal Gas Law.
What is PV = nRT
You put a small gear on a motor to spin a larger gear on an axle for this reason.
How do you increase torque?
This sensor can be used to follow a drawn path on the ground.
What is a line sensor?
This type of loop is when the output signal makes the input bigger.
What is a Positive Feedback Loop?
Pascal's law.
what is pressure = Force / Area
How do you reverse a motor?
The range sensor uses this to find ranges to the nearest object.
What is ultra sonic sound?
This type of feedback loop is used to decrease the input signal.
What is a negative feedback loop?
To make a wheel spin faster a the bigger gear is directly spun by the motor. However, when speed is increased, this other parameter is reduced.
What is torque?
This sensor is used to limit the motion of a part of the robot.
What is a limit switch.
"As you get closer to an object, the robot moves slower to prevent crashing into the object," is an example of this kind of feedback loop.
what is a Negative Feedback Loop?
What is a motor controller?
This grey button can be used to help the robot "feel" walls.
What is a bump switch?
Chernobyl's power plant accident happened because as temperature rose, power rose, which increased temperature more. This is an example this kind of feedback loop.
What is a positive feedback loop?
