Sensors
This sensor must be placed on the board to calculate it's position before programs can be run.
What is Gyro?
Yaw, Pitch and Roll describe this sensor.
What is Gyro?
This issue can be solved by creating a jig, proper record keeping (including photos) and use of the grid line.
What is 1 practice run and 3 competition runs?
This tool allows you to record thoughts and problems to be fixed at a later date in Spike Prime.
What is Comment Box or Sticky Notes?
What are color sensors?
This term means to turn the hub left or right.
What is Yaw?
Deliberately backing into a wall to straighten out, squaring on lines and using mission models to align solves this common problem.
What are alignment issues?
Name 3 things not allowed at the robot tables.
What is food, drinks, negative attitudes, computers, more than 1 robot, more than 2 team members per side?
This useful strategy is used to figure out where in your program something has gone wrong.
What is Debugging?
Although not a physical sensor this method could be used as a sensor to correct the robot's position.
What is a wall? What is squaring on a wall?
What symbol is used to represent the difference in left or right turns?
What is the negative symbol?
Name two reasons a code works on one robot and not the other.
What is battery life, lego pieces coming apart, warped motors, motors and sensors aren't prefect matches?
What is 30 minutes? This includes set up during the 2 minute welcome/ introductions, 5 minute presentation for project, 5 minute questions, 5 minute robot design presentation, 5 minute questions and finally 8 minutes that teams may use to share final thoughts and judges can ask final questions. Bonus 300 points if correct.
This technique allows you to review what actually happened during a program to the robot. It is also a great way to document real time progress made on the robot game. It does require the use of another technology.
What is Recording and replaying the robot performance?
This sensor uses ultrasonic technology to measure.
What is Distance Sensor?
Mario Cart isn't the only place you can use this turning method.
What is Gyro Drift?
Yaw angle 78 is a more accurate way to turn what angle?
What is 90 degrees?
These words help guide all FLL Challenge teams and show be practiced in and outside of FLL. Bonus points if you list all of them.
Fun, Innovation, Inclusion, Discovery, Impact, Teamwork (bonus 300 points)
What is Sensor Data Checks?
This sensor uses newtons.
What is a Force Sensor?
This type of turn allows for less error over time by calculating current position to correct itself.
What is Proportional Control Turn?
What is the engineering process? Identify, Design, Create, Iterate, Communicate. (Bonus 300 points)
This is our number one priority at FLL.
Although these are not always used during the robot game, this coding can allow teams to test their robot's motors and sensors.
What is Pseudocode?
