• 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 of Sensor Control over the Basic Movement Commands?

• The robot can use little to no battery power.

• The robot can levitate if enough sensors are used.

• The robot can react to its environment.

• There is no big advantage.

What does the wait-Sensor block allow you to do?

• Allow the robot to keep doing what it was doing until what the command is set to wait for has happened

• Force the robot to stop until what the command is set to wait for has happened

• The robot will move forward for 1 rotation.

• The robot will move forward while waiting for the Touch Sensor to be pressed.

• The robot will move forward while waiting for the Touch Sensor to be released.

• The robot will move forward while waiting for the Sonar Sensor to bump an object.

What are threshold values accepted by the Touch Sensor?

• 1, 2, 3

• 2,3,4

• 0, 1, 3

• 0, 1, 2

The touch sensor is used to

• measure contact with surface

• measure IR remote’s signals

• measure distance to nearby surfaces

• measure color and darkness

Which of the following actions can be programed using the touch sensor?

• currently pressed
