Electrical
A mechanical component that electricity travels through
What are wires?
A specific set of instructions or procedure used to solve a problem
What is an algorithm?
A software used to model subsystems before they are properly built. This is typically used after the prototyping phase.
What is CAD?
A motor that runs on DC power and uses "brushes" typically made out of carbon to continuously deliver electricity.
What is a brushed motor?
A bright, gold-like alloy that resists tarnish and is used commonly in musical instruments, plumbing, and industrial components.
What is brass?
The tool used primarily to cut wires
What are flush cuts?
The IDE primarily used for FRC
What is WPILib?
The most commonly used metal for FRC robots
What is aluminum?
Independent drive units typically mounted to the corners of a chassis that allow the robot to move in direction and rotation
What are swerve modules?
The seventh planet from the sun
What is Uranus?
Two components that protect the robot from using more energy than it should
What are fuses and breakers?
A common motor controller that must be programmed
What is a SPARK MAX?
What is CAM? (machining is also an acceptable answer)
A toothed mechanical wheel used to transfer power
What is a gear?
The person who founded FRC
The most commonly used type of wire connector in FRC
An interpreted (not compiled) language sometimes used for FRC
Examples of electrical components that are typically not included in CAD
What are minor electrical components such as wires, zip ties and relays?
The component used to protect electrical components, typically made out of plastic and placed below the chassis.
The 91st element of the periodic table
What is Protactinium?
A subset of machine learning that could hypothetically train FRC robots to identify complex patterns and field elements based off of visual data
2D profiles in CAD that form the foundation for modeling 3D bodies
A rotary switch found in brushed motors used to reverse the direction of electrical current flowing through the rotor coils constantly to maintain a continuous spin
What is a commutator?
An uncommon property of vowels that is only found in 1% of the worlds languages but is prevalent in English and Mandarin Chinese. It is typically found in General American English when a vowel is followed by a rhotic consonant in the same syllable.
What is r-colorization?
