Firmware and Basic Robot Movement Quiz

The VEX EDR should be powered OFF when you connect it to the computer.

• True

• False

The Master Firmware is:

• Software that is burned into the EDR processor and cannot be changed

• Software that acts as the master processor’s operating system

• Software that acts as the users’ processor’s operating system

The ROBOTC firmware is:

• Software that acts as the master processor’s operating system

• Software that must be loaded onto the EDR each time you use it

• Software that acts as the users’ processor’s operating system

The VEX EDR has two processors. They are the:

• Master and super processors

• Neither. There is only the need for one processor

• Master and user processors

When selecting the communications port to download firmware to your EDR, if you ONLY see Automatic Selection when selecting the communications port, you should:

• Do nothing. This is the way it is supposed to work

• Disconnect and reconnect the USB A-to-A cable

• Unplug any motors connected to your EDR

To get the robot to move in a circle, you would:

• Use the MotorCircle command

• Assure that the Wait1Msec command was at least 3000

• Turn on only one motor

Why did the robot continue to turn in a circle even when there were two motor commands?

• The motors are installed mirroring each other

• The robot was built incorrectly

• We used the MotorCircle command for both motors

You can reflect the polarity of a motor in ROBOTC using the Motors and Sensors Setup menu, clicking on the Sensors tab and selecting the ‘Reversed’ box next to the sensor you want to reflect.

• True

• False

Pragma statements:

• Should be changed by deleting the configuration you don’t want and then retyping the configuration you do want

• Contain configuration options created in the Motors and Sensors Setup menu

• Can be safely changed by just deleting the keyword ‘Pragma’

If you use a custom name for your motors, the custom name must be only one word and include the word Motor with a capital M

• True

• False
