Intro to Robotics 7th Grade

Why are sensors important to robots?

• They allow multiple commands to run in order.

• They give the robot information about its surroundings.

• They allow robots to repeat similar tasks.

• All of the Above

What is the advantage to programming sensors?

• The robot uses little batter power.

• The robot can fly if enough sensors are used.

• The robot can react to its environment.

• There is no advantage.

What does the setMultipleMotors command block do?

• Turn on 4 motors at specific power

• Turn on 4 motors to drive a number of rotations

• Turn on 4 motors, if the touch sensor pressed

• Nothing

Why might the Distance Sensor be preferred over Touch sensors for detecting walls and obstacles?

• The touch sensor Hitting a wall could damage the robot

• The touch sensor Hitting a wall could damage the wall

• It is quicker to detect obstacles at a distance

• All of the above

The unit of measurement that the Distance Sensors uses is:

• Millimeters

• Centimeters

• Inches

• Feet

A programming language is

• used to write directions for a computer

• the language computers use to speak to humans

• does not have any rules

• used to design a flowchart but not to write code

Erika made a computer program. Which of the following did she do first?

• design a flowchart

• code and debug

• define the problem

• test the program

Why should you document (put comments) in your program?

• To raise money to continue programming.

• To communicate with other programmers and keep a record of the program.

• To gain an audience.

• To learn to code in different programming languages.

What is a robot?

• A computer that can control a machine.

• A machine that can think for itself.

• A machine that is controlled by a computer.

• Something that looks human but is not.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a robot?

• automatic doors

• a vending machine

• an ATM

• a clock
