Torque is a tendency of a force to __________ an object about its axis or pivot.

____________ is when multiple forces act on an axel and reduces the overall force on it

• Double shear

• Friction

• Force reduction
• Equilibrium

Draw an arrow that points to the pivot (point of rotation)

Answer explanation

should be pointing to the blue part

Double shear is when ______________ __________ act on an axel and reduces the overall force on it

• multiple axles

• multiple forces

• multiple torques

Torque is inversely related to speed

• True

• False

What is the purpose of this part

Answer explanation

You should have typed something related to wire management and how this part ensures that the wires that are connected to the motors/sensors do not get tangled up

You should spread your motors and sensors out to ensure that the _____________ ______________ is balanced

Answer explanation

You should avoid putting all of the weight on one side or section. No robot will be perfectly even, but there are ways to have a balanced robot. Place all heavy pieces and electronics at the bottom, this lowers it's center of mass, which decreases instability with rapid movements.

What is the risk of adding more gears

• increased risk of torsional strain

• decreased speed

• more torque

• increased risk of gear slipping
