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 distances
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
Which of the following is NOT a type of robotic arm?

Elbow 2-Bar
Swing Arm
Which of the following types of robotic arms can swing all the way around to the other side of the robot?
4-Bar
6-Bar
Elbow 2-Bar
Swing Arm
Which of the following types of robotic arms creates a small arc while lifting objects and is able to keep objects level?
4-Bar
Elbow 2-Bar

Which of the following best describes a motor group?
It is a type of gripper that is used to pick up and transport objects
It consists of two motors that are going to function as if they are one device
It is a decision made from observable and measurable data
It is a device where each motor must be coded individually
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using a motor group?
It enables two motors to be programmed as one device
It can be controlled using one or two buttons on the Controller
It makes it more difficult to code your robot to move
It can make your robot have more power, or lifting ability
To make a motor group, you must have two motors that are ________________.
Connected to the same port on the Brain
Spinning in opposite directions
Disconnected to each other
Mechanically connected
Which of the following is NOT a possible mechanical connection for a motor group?
Beam and plate
Gear train
Chain and Sprocket
Two motors sharing a shaft
Which of the following is the correct order of steps to configure a motor group in VEXcode EXP?
Open the Help; select ‘Motion’ blocks; then select the [Spin motor] block
Open the Devices window; select ‘Add a Device’; select ‘Motor Group’; select the ports on the Brain that your motors are connected to; then select ‘Done’
Open the Devices window; select ‘Add a Device’; select ‘Bumper Switch’; then select ‘Done’
Open the Devices window; then select ‘Controller’
Which of the following is TRUE of adding your motor group to your Controller?
You can select the buttons you wish to use to control your motor group, and the direction of movement for those buttons
The left joystick is automatically selected, and cannot be changed in any way
You must configure your Controller before configuring the motor group
The buttons will control the individual motors in the group, not the direction of movement
Data-driven decision making uses _________________ to inform a decision.
Unfair and biased opinions
Personal preferences and relationships
Randomization of choices
Observable and measurable data
Which of the following will help your team choose a driver fairly and more effectively for a competition?

Data-driven decision making
None of the above
Which of the following will help you communicate respectfully with your team as you make data-driven decisions together?
A. Being loud and aggressive in your tone of voice
B. Backing up suggestions with data to show why you are making that choice
C. Using a calm and respectful tone of voice
Both B & C
Which of the following best describes a manipulator?
Two motors that function as if they are one device
A mechanical sensor that reports if it is pressed or not pressed

A sensor capable of detecting ‘capacitive’ touch
Which of the following is true of an active manipulator?
It has a power source or motor attached to it
It is not movable
It has no motors attached to it
It is not useful for lifting an object
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

1
2
3
4
