2 types of gear ratios

what is gear reduction and overdrive?

200

Arguably the most important subsystem of robot (and why)

200

What kind of data does computers process? (we read letters/numbers, but computers read...)

what is binary (0s and 1s)?

200

2 types of drivetrain that increase maneuverability

What is omni(h-drive) and mecanum?

Dimension of the playing field (___ by ___)

What is 6 feet by 8 feet? (or vice versa)

300

The driving gear, normally on motor and the smaller one of multiple gears

What is pinion?

300

2 ways to turn 2 shafts in the same direction

What is Chain drive and gear system with an idler in between (so total 3 gears)?

300

In VEX IQ specifically, name 2 digital sensors

What is bumper switch and touch LED?

300

2 simple machines used in a drivetrain

wheel/axle, pulley, screw

300

3 ways points can be earned (at least)

score blocks, partial/fully park, empty supply zone, red blocks removed from starting peg, height bonus/fill level

400
