Input/Output
A machine that is capable of performing a complex series of steps automatically.
What is robot?
A piece of hardware that moves the wheels.
What is a Motor?
The beginning block for building a program.
What is a Start Block?
Contains multiple algorithms and/or directions to be run on the Robot.
What is a Program?
A series of well defined steps performed one after another in order to complete a task with a beginning and end.
What is an Algorithm or Program?
This transfers the program from the computer to the Lego Brick.
What is a Data Cable?
First button pushed to turn the Robot on to make it work.
What is the Power Button?
A block used as a conditional statement or to hold the program for a specified amount of time.
What is Wait for?
This is another option for duration besides rotations and degrees.
What is time or seconds or infinite?
A tool that is helpful in displaying the process flow of an event.
What is a Flow Chart?
This gives power and program directions to the robot. Also referred to as the brain of the robot.
What is a Brick?
This happens when the degrees or rotations are negative.
What is move backwards?
This number keeps a record of the number of times an action or set of actions has occurred.

What is a gyro sensor?
Is capable of detecting the intensity of light in a room.
What is Light Sensor?
While also a measurement for circles, this can be used as a measurement of distance for the wheels.
What are Degrees?
When this happens in your code you make a decision.
What is a switch?
A series of steps that engineers use to diagnose and fix a problem.
What is the Engineering Design Process?
Allows an algorithm to run more than once.
What is a Loop?
A device that works like a Bat to locate its prey in the dark.
What is Ultrasonic Sensor?
This part of the code can be on or off, and is used to halt the robot or allow it to coast to a stop.
What is Braking?
This is used to repeat blocks over and over again.
What is a loop?
To start a new project you would need to do this.
What is Open? What is Open File? What is a New Project?
A ultrasonic sensor uses this to determine how far away it is from an object.
