What is the correct procedure for change the wheels on the BaseBot?

• Slide a High Strength Shaft Adaptor over the shaft, and slide the wheel over the shaft adapter. Then, use a Rubber Shaft Collar or Click-on Spacer to hold the wheel in place.

• Slide the tire on to the shaft and then add a 1x4 Plastic Linkage Beam with a Traction LInk

• Slide the tire on to the shaft and then add a 36 Tooth Gear

• Add a High Strength Adapter over the shaft when using the Balloon Tire only, as it is not necessary for the other three tires

Which of the following best describes a claw?

• It is a type of wheel that can turn in multiple directions

• It is a type of gripper that is used to pick up and transport objects

• It makes it easier for you to code your robot to drive or turn specific distances

• It is a type of block in VEXcode EXP

Which of the following is NOT true of how a claw can work mechanically?

• A claw is often powered by a motor or power source

• A claw is often mechanically connected to a motor using a shaft,, which turns elements such as gears, in order to open and close the claw

• A claw does not move and stays fixed at all times

Which of the following would NOT be a consideration when designing an effective claw?

• The color of the object it is meant to move

• The size of the object it is meant to move

• The shape of the object it is meant to move

• The weight of the object it is meant to move
