Some Parts
This cable enables you to download a program to the cortex.
What is the Tether/USB cable?
This signal instructs the robot to perform an operation. For example a robot will uses these signals to open its gripper.
What is Output Signals?
This Robot is able, under program control, to sense its surroundings, make decisions, and act logically without operator intervention.
What is an autonomous robot?
A single loop of wire provides a very small magnetic force. As the number of these increases, the force increases.
What is a Windings?
This robot has 1 rotational degree of freedom with 2 translational degrees of freedom.
What is A Cylindrical Robot?
What are all the programs for the robot stored on?
Also known as the brain.
What is the cortex?
One of the 3 main types of ports found on the VEX cortex (name at least one of them).
What are motor, digital, or analog?
This command is used to pause a program for the number of milliseconds specified in the input parameter.
What is the Wait Command?
This is referred to as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to change.
What is a Acceleration?
What is a End Effector?
This provides power to the robot brain and its parts.
What is the battery?
This is used to reduce friction in a machine.
What is a bearing?
This variable can be either positive or negative in value.
What is a Signed Variable?
This is referred to as displacement divided by the elapsed time.
What is Velocity?
This formula uses force times distance to solve for something .
What is Torque?
This device allows you to control the robot.
What is JoyStick?
This device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What is a motor?
In coding, this means a comparison or test is performed. It does not do an assignment.
What is a The Double Equals Sign "=="?
This is the most common rechargeable battery. Also known as a lead-acid battery.
What is a Wet Battery?
This is where the condition where the sum of the torques is zero and the sum of the (linear) forces is zero
What is Equilibrium?
This command tells the robot to go, move backwards or stop.
What is SetMotor(1,0)?
(Motor Module Block)
Reduced power and response time of the motors is an indicator that you need to change what?
What is the battery?
This allows you to write out code in a conversational style using simple and logical steps.
What is Pseudo-Code?
This is often called a rotational force.
What is Torque?
A robotic arm is a form of this and it coverts electrical energy into kinetic energy.
What is an Actuator?
