What body parts do motors resemble?
What connects and powers motors to the hub?

How do you make a robot turn?
Use a blue motor block.
Are buttons sensors? What sensors?
Yes. Touch sensors.
What motor would be used in this scenario (Large or medium): A SUMMER FAN
A medium motor. (Requires very fast movement)
Wheels are connected to an axle.
What is the axle connected to?

How does a supersonic sensor measure distance?
High frequency waves being bounced off a surface.
What are the two differences between a large and medium motor?
A large motor is slower and stronger
A medium motor is faster and weaker
What is the brain of the robot called and what is its function?

How do color sensors determine a color?
By reading reflected light as a value.
What is the difference between a motor and an engine?

They LOSE power.
How does a my-block work?
A set of instructions within one usable block which can easily be repeated.

Brighter sources of light could reflect light differently than other sources.
A wheel and axle uses leverage to reduce what?
*HINT* the word "rub"
