Robotics Unit 2 Review

A "syntax" error is when:

• Your battery is completely discharged

• You forget to connect your controller

• A program prevents compilation

• A program will cause the robot to malfunction

A while block is used to:

• Execute a section of code until a condition is met

• Wait a specified length of time

• Ensure that the battery has enough power for an operation

• Check an input repeatedly

An autonomous robot is one that:

• Has mechanisms to perform a variety of operations

• Uses its own intelligence or program to handle different situations

• Is able to respond to joystick commands

• Requires a human operator to carry out its tasks

When your computer compiles your program, it is:

• Converting your C++ program to machine language

• Creating or editing C++ language statements

• "Piling" program statements, one after another

• Sending the program to the robot brain

What will the block shown in the picture cause your code to do?

• Pause for a certain amount of time

• Turn off the robot controller briefly

• Turn off all motors briefly

• Stop and only restart after user input

An if-then-else block is used when:

• You need to do both things, or neither

• You need to do one thing or the other, but not both

• You need to do one thing, the other, or neither

• You need to do one thing or both things

The picture above is of a simple program. Which answer best describes what the program makes the robot do?

• Drive in reverse for 12 feet and turn left, all at 75% velocity

• Drive forward 120 degrees and turn right 90 turns, all at 25% velocity

• Drive forward for 10 feet at 50% velocity and turn right 90 degrees at 25% velocity

• Drive in reverse for 10 feet at 25% velocity and turn left at 25% velocity

What does the loop in the code above make the robot do?

• Draw a circle

• Draw a hexagon

• Draw a triangle

• Draw a square

In the code above, what "condition" would make the robot's claw motor stop turning?

• not pressing the bumper switch

• turning off the battery

• light sensor detecting bright light

• pressing the bumper switch

The three steps to coding the robot are:

• read, write, think

• control, alternate, delete

• edit, download, execute

• define, manipulate, automate
