VEX EDR Programming

What are sensors?

• the computer that filters the information collected from the sensors and responds by making decisions using logic.

• devices that lose information every time

• devices that collect input from the environment and provide information that the CPU can respond to.

• allows the robot to perform desired tasks without human guidance.

A program is

• A logical and step-by-step set of directions for the robot to follow

• A logical and step-by-step set of directions for the programmer to follow

• A set of directions, written in paragraph form, that even a robot can follow

• None of the above

What is a programming language?

• Only ROBOTC

• A method for the robot to communicate with the programmer

• A program that allows the robot to think for itself

• A language that lets the programmer communicate a plan to the robot

Which one of these representations of Task Main will work in ROBOTC?

• Task main ()

• task main ()

• Taskmain ()

• task main;

• all of them

What does it mean when a command appears in color when typed in ROBOTC?

• The command is typed incorrectly

• The command is not allowed in the command

• ROBOTC recognizes the command as an important keyword

• It is highlighted so the programmer should look at the word or name carefully

All programs must end with a ‘Stop’ command.

• True

• False

If there are no more statements to run in the program:

• The robot will stop

• The robot will continue its last statement until it can find another statement

• The robot will continue its last statement until it can find the Stop command

• The robot will go back to the beginning of the program and start all over

If one of a paired punctuation such as parentheses is missing

• The robot will assume that it is there and continue running

• The program will not compile and the programmer will see an error message

• The program will bypass that statement

• The program will delete the paired punctuation that is not missing
