Programming the Grabber - Bellwork

What motor is most commonly used to open and close the grabber arm in SPIKE Prime?

• Medium Motor

• Color Sensor

• Large Motor

• Distance Sensor

Which sensor is best for detecting if a bottle is in front of the robot?

• Force Sensor

• Color Sensor

• Distance Sensor

• Gyro Sensor

When programming a grabber to close on a bottle, what block should be used to spin the motor to a position or for a short time?

• Display block

• Move steering block

• Motor block

• Sound block

What is the purpose of using a “Wait Until” block with the distance sensor in this challenge?

• To wait for the grabber to stop

• To wait until the robot hears a sound

• To wait until a bottle is close enough before grabbing

• To wait for a program error

What is the best way to ensure the robot grabs the bottle firmly but doesn’t crush it?

• Use maximum motor speed

• Use a fixed angle or low-power motor block to close the grabber gently

• Use a loop to keep spinning the motor

• Turn off the color sensor

What movement strategy should the robot use after grabbing the bottle to reach the drop zone?

• Turn in place randomly

• Drive backward blindly

• Follow a line or drive a preset path

• Wait for the next bottle

Which sensor can help detect when the robot has reached the drop zone?

• Gyro Sensor

• Distance Sensor

• Color Sensor

• Medium Motor

What block can be used to open the grabber once the robot reaches the drop zone?

• Display block

• Sound block

• Motor block

• Wait block

How can you improve accuracy in detecting and grabbing bottles?

• Drive as fast as possible

• Use multiple sensors and slow speeds for control

• Skip the sensors and guess the positions

• Use random movements
