Power or Fast?
When a small gear drives a large gear, the result is:
What is torque?
The term describing the relationship between two gear sizes.
What is gear ratio?
This is when a robot’s physical parts (like gears or wheels) break or don’t work correctly. .
What is a mechanical failure?
The component that provides rotational motion.
What is a motor?
The document engineers use to track designs and improvements.
What is an engineering notebook?
The side of the M.A.D. Box that is harder to turn demonstrates:
What is the torque side?
The gear attached directly to the motor.
What is the driver gear?
This type of failure happens when wires, sensors, or power systems stop working properly.
What is an electrical/electronic failure?
The part that runs programs on the robot.
What is the VEX Brain?
The process of checking whether a design works properly.
What is testing?
If a large gear drives a small gear, what increases?
What is speed?
The final gear in a gear train that delivers motion.
What is the driven gear?
A robot falls over because its weight is uneven or not balanced. This is an example of what kind of problem?
What is a design flaw?
The metal rod that gears spin on.
→
What is a shaft?
The step where engineers make changes based on test results.
What is improving or iteration?
Speed and torque have what kind of relationship?
. Inverse
A 12-tooth gear driving a 60-tooth gear increases this output.
What is torque?
During testing, a robot doesn’t follow its programmed path because the code has errors. What caused the failure?
What is a programming error (bug)?
The structural pieces used to build the robot frame.
→
What are beams ?
The reason engineers sketch before building.
What is planning?
The design choice needed when a robot must push a heavy object.
What is designing for torque?
The engineering concept of using design to multiply force.
What is mechanical advantage?
Why is it important for robots to fail during testing?
What is: It helps engineers learn, fix problems, and improve designs?
The part that connects and transfers motion between shafts.
→
What are gears?
The practice of recording problems and solutions during a build.
→
What is reflection or documentation?
