Robotics Final Exam Study Guide Part II

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

How many robots play in the Grab and Go challenge?

• 1 v 1

• 2 v 2

• 1 in a timed trial

What are some of the things that robotic arms are used to do? (Choose all that apply)

• assembly

• NASA projects

• Marine research

• VEX robots

What are the two major

types of claws and clamps?

• mechanical

• hydraulic

• air brake

• gas brake

Mechanical claws are better for extreme manufacturing environments.

• True

• False

Which of the following best describes a robotic arm?

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

• It is a type of suction-based 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 distrances

• It is a type of mechanism that functions similarly in motion to a human arm used to pick up, move and transport objects

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

• The color of the object it is meant to move

• The stability of the arm

• If the arm needs to remain level

• The weight of the object it is meant to move
