Robot Programming and Sensor Usage

The video tutorial guides students through a mini challenge involving programming a robot to move backwards until it is far from a wall using an ultrasonic sensor. It covers initial steps, issues with movement direction, understanding movement speed using negative values, correcting code order, and using the ultrasonic sensor to determine when to stop the robot. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of code order and sensor readings in achieving the desired outcome.

What is the main objective of the mini challenge discussed in the video?

• To program the robot to stop at a specific time.

• To make the robot move forwards until it hits a wall.

• To program the robot to move backwards until it is far from a wall.

• To make the robot move in a circle.

How can the robot be programmed to move backwards indefinitely?

• By setting the speed to zero.

• By setting a negative speed value.

• By using a loop to repeat the forward movement.

• By using a special backward block.

What was the issue with the initial code order?

• The robot was turning instead of moving straight.

• The robot was moving too fast.

• The robot was not moving at all.

• The speed was set after the robot started moving.

What sensor is used to determine the distance from the wall?

• Ultrasonic sensor

• Infrared sensor

• Light sensor

• Temperature sensor

At what distance should the robot stop moving according to the final instructions?

• 20 centimeters

• 30 centimeters

• 40 centimeters

• 50 centimeters
