Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 11mins
What is the primary function of a chassis in a robot?
To provide power
To control the robot
To provide structure and mobility
To process data
Match the following components with their functions:
Provide mobility
Wheels
Support structure
Shafts
Attach to the chassis
Manipulators
Why is it important to incorporate two parallel points of support for any shafts in the chassis?
To allow the shaft to pivot up and down
To make the shaft harder to spin
To provide stability and ease of spinning
To make the robot assembly heavier
Match the following types of structural metal pieces with their characteristics:
Available in 5 Hole and 2 Hole width
C-Channels
Ideal for attaching and supporting towers
Angles
Have end connectors which provide an additional connection point
Rails
Which of the following is an advantage of using aluminum metal pieces in robotic competitions?
Heavier weight
Lighter weight
More difficult to align holes
Harder than steel
Which of the following components can be mounted on a chassis using Plates and Bars?
V5 Robot Brain
V5 Robot Radio
V5 Robot Battery
All of the above
Match the following types of fasteners with their descriptions:
Bearing Attachment Rivets
Used to separate two parts from one another while creating a rigid connection
Hex Nuts
Used for faster assembly in classroom chassis
Thumb Screws
Used in competitive chassis for assembly with screws
Standoffs
Used in competitive chassis for assembly with screws and nuts
What should you do to any edge of material which has been cut to remove any sharp edges?
Leave it as it is
File or sand smooth
Paint it
Cover it with tape
What is the purpose of using gears in a VEX V5 robot?
To increase the aesthetic appeal
To control the robot's software
To transmit power and change the speed or direction of motion
To reduce the robot's weight
Which structure piece allows for greater stability but does add weight to the robot?
Rails
U-Channels
C-Channels
Bars
Categorize the Advantages for the following metal pieces
less expensive
pieces do not bend or twist as easily
lighter and this provides a competitive advantage
easier it is for motors and pneumatic systems to move it
cut, drilled, filed, and re-shaped easier
