• Motors, gearboxes, wheels, and frame/chassis

• Batteries, wires, and sensors

Name two types of wheels commonly used in FRC drive trains.

• rubber wheels and plastic wheels

• spinning wheels and stationary wheels

• steel wheels and wooden wheels

• omni wheels and traction wheels

What are the essential electrical components in an FRC robot?

• GPS and satellite dish

• Steering wheel and pedals

• Motor controllers, power distribution panel, battery, wiring, and sensors

• Screws, bolts, and nuts

Explain the function of a PDP (Power Distribution Panel) in the FRC electrical system.

• It stores the programming code for the robot

• It provides internet connectivity to the robot

• It distributes power from the main battery to all the electrical components in the FRC robot.

• It controls the speed of the robot

Name two common pneumatic components used in FRC robots.

• Electric motors and gearboxes

• Pneumatic pumps and air compressors

• Hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic solenoid valves

• Pneumatic cylinders and pneumatic solenoid valves

What is the purpose of a pressure regulator in a pneumatic system?

• To regulate the temperature of the air

• To control and maintain a constant output pressure

• To decrease the output pressure

• To increase the input pressure

What are the key components of the FRC control system?

• Screws, bolts, and nuts

• Steering wheel, brake pads, and exhaust pipe

• Laptop, battery, and camera

• roboRIO, power distribution panel, motor controllers, pneumatic control module, and sensors

Explain the role of a RoboRIO in the FRC control system.

• It is responsible for controlling the robot's lighting system

• It is the main robot controller responsible for running the robot's code and controlling its components.

• It is a communication device used for sending messages to other teams

• It is used for storing spare parts for the robot

What are the commonly used materials for building the frame of an FRC robot?

• Titanium, bronze, and ceramic

• Wood, rubber, and paper

• Aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber

• Plastic, copper, and glass

Compare and contrast the properties of aluminum and carbon fiber as robot frame materials.

• Aluminum is heavier but cheaper and easier to fabricate, while carbon fiber is lighter, stronger, stiffer, but more expensive and harder to fabricate.

• Aluminum is lighter and more expensive, while carbon fiber is heavier and cheaper.

• Aluminum is stronger and stiffer, while carbon fiber is weaker and less stiff.

• Aluminum is harder to fabricate and more expensive, while carbon fiber is easier to fabricate and cheaper.
