The "brain" of a robot, made up by a microchip, which stores the instructions that govern the behavior of the robot.

A means by which a robot receives information about its environment.

A motor, an arm, a relay or any device that produces a physical effect.

A smart motor that has a specific range of movement and provides feedback about its current position.

LED

An electrical component that opposes or limits the passage of electricity. The amount of ohms offered is displayed as color-bands using a color code.

A machine that converts rotational motion into electricity.

White, solderless board on the BoeBot board to which the resistors, LEDs, and other sensors are attached

A type of gear that transfers motion between two shafts running parallel to each other. They are characterized by their teeth, which are straight and parallel to the gears axis of rotation.

Conically shaped gears that transmit power between shafts that have intersecting axes of rotation.

A type of bevel gear in which the teeth project perpendicular to the gear face.

the ratio of output force to the input force applied to a mechanism.

The magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance it is from the center of rotation (Force x Distance).

The transference of force between machines or mechanisms, often with changes of torque and speed.

In order for two gears to mesh, they need to have the same size (and shape) teeth on the same spacing.

A safety device consisting of a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit if the current exceeds a safe level.

A metal or metallic alloy that is melted and precisely applied to join metallic contacts in an electrical circuit.

The ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid.

A standard nut that includes a toothed "crown" designed to bite into a mounting surface and prevent the nut from slipping.

The programming language used by VEX microcontrollers.

VEXnet devices contain internal processors and run on special software called _________________ (or Master Code).

The robotics subsystem that provides the ability to move around the field.

To change the amplitude or frequency of waves.
