Ring Leader: Lesson 3

Which of the following best describes path planning?

• The process of guessing and checking your way to a challenge solution with your robot

• Identifying general steps needed to accomplish a task, like ‘drive forward then turn left’

• The process of decomposing a project into the smallest possible behaviors that you can then attach code to

• A cycle of defining, developing solutions, and optimizing your project or robot for competition

Path planning is than guessing and checking to solve a coding challenge or accomplish a task with your robot.

• Less effective

• More effective
• Equally as effective

Which of the following shows the steps to path planning in the correct sequence?

• Attach code to behaviors, test your code, iterate on your project

• Identify vague steps needed to complete the task, then guess and check to complete your project

• Talk to your team about what your robot needs to do, take turns adding blocks to the project, start the project

• Identify the task of the robot, break that task down into the smallest possible behaviors, attach code to each of those behaviors

[Spin for] blocks are used to code which of the following in VEXcode EXP?

• A Bumper Switch

• A Touch LED

• A Drivetrain

• An individual motor or motor group

Which part of this [Spin for] block do you use to change the direction the ClawMotor moves?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Where can you label your motor and the direction it spins in VEXcode EXP, to make it easier to code your robot?

• Robot configuration

• Drivetrain

• Help

• Toolbox

In a challenge, the movement of the robot is entirely controlled by . a. Driver controlled; code b. Autonomous; the driver’s Controller c. Robot; debugging your project d. Autonomous; code

• Driver controlled; code
• Autonomous; the driver’s Controller
• Robot; debugging your project

• Autonomous; code

Which of the following is NOT a consideration when preparing for an autonomous challenge?

• Precise project planning

• Frequent testing and debugging of the project

• Controller configuration

• Careful setup of robot and game element starting locations

Which of the following is NOT a strategy that can be used to help you successfully set up for an autonomous challenge?

• Marking the game elements’ starting positions on the Field

• Documenting the robot’s starting position in your engineering notebook

• Placing game elements in different locations for each run

Which of the following is TRUE about the setup of the Coding Crunch Challenge?

• The robot starts with one ring preloaded in the claw.

• Four rings go against the walls on one side of the Field.

• A small post is attached to the center tile on one side of the Field.

• Two robots should be placed facing each other to start the challenge.
