Coding
This is the language used for coding the robot
What is C++?
This base is omnidirectional with 4 motors
What is an X-drive?
To make a this gear ratio, the driver gear needs to be smaller than the output gear
What is a torque gear ratio?
This type of lift goes straight up
What is a linear lift?
A structure system beam used to form the "skeleton" of the robot.
What is a c-channel?
This is the end of the file name
What is .cpp?
A structure system beam used to form the "skeleton" of the robot.
What is a chassis?
What are idler gears?
When build a base, this should be at the middle?
What is a centroid?
A long, rigid piece through the rotational center of an object (like a gear or wheel). Square bars are usually used as axles in the VEX system.
What is an axle?
This symbol "/**/" is used in coding for what
What is commenting.
This form of wheels can be used to make the base omnidirectional.
What are Mecanum wheels?
This is an issue that may occur when using sprockets
What is the chain breaking?
The lift arm connected not to the motor should be this?
What is a shoulder screw?
You add this between standoffs to ensure that they do not loosen
What is lock tight?
This is what you use to initialize a function
What is void?
With a tank drive, you try to have this gear ratio
What is a 1 to 1 gear ratio?
People use sprockets than large gear trains because of this
What is friction?
When you want to lift something 4ft, you will build this lift
A flat structural part used to provide a mounting surface for other robot parts.
What is a plate structure?
This is how you initialize a motor
What is vex::motor [motor name](vex::[port#], true)?
When building a DR4B, you will build this type of base because it has the most space.
What is a tank drive?
This is the gear ration between the largest gear and the smallest gear with the smallest gear as the driving gear
What is 7 to 1?
When building a lift, you will usually use this color cartridge for your motor
What is red?
A type of spacer that can be set to remain stationary at any given point along an axle.
What is a collar?
