A manipulator on a robot is:
A sensor used to detect obstacles
A mechanism that moves or interacts with game objects
A type of battery charger
A programming tool used to rename motors
The intake refers to:
The main frame of the robot
The wheels used for turning
A system that collects or pulls in game pieces
A device that measures robot speed
A motor group is:
A cluster of motors that are wired incorrectly
Two or more motors programmed to work together as one
A collection of spare motors in storage
A team of students that repairs motors
In robotics competitions, scouting means:
Spying on other groups to steal their robot parts
Watching other teams to gather performance data
Replacing worn-out motors
Carrying the robot to the starting tile
The Engineering Design Process is best described as:
A strict list of rules for building robots
A random approach to trying out ideas
A cycle of researching, designing, testing, and improving
An organization method that can be used for organizing robot parts or tools
To iterate means to:
Repeat steps to improve a design after testing
Copy another team’s robot
Disassemble the robot entirely
Skip the testing phase and move on to the share results phase
The chassis is:
The robot’s coding software that determines the directional movement
The main structure or frame that supports the robot
The center of gravity on the robot to help maintain balance and movement
A sensor that helps the robot turn or avoid objects
A prototype is:
A final, competition-ready robot
A rough or early model built to test ideas
A robot that only runs in autonomous mode
A computer model that cannot be changed
In robotics, autonomous means:
The robot is controlled by a human driver
The robot moves on its own using code and sensors
The robot turns off when it senses danger
The robot cannot be reprogrammed or the code overwritten
An omni-directional drive allows a robot to:
Only move forward and backward, but very quickly
Move in circles but nowhere else
Move in any direction, including sideways, without turning
Have more traction and grip strength on the terrain or playing field
A team builds an early version of their robot just to test whether their arm design can lift a block. This first version of their robot isn’t pretty, and it breaks often, but it helps them learn what works.

Manipulator
During a match, a robot moves forward, shifts sideways without turning, then angles diagonally to avoid another robot. All movements are smooth and don’t require the robot to rotate. This is all thanks to the robot's special tires.
Which vocabulary word BEST matches this capability?
Intake
Autonomous
Omni-directional
Motor Group
A team watches another match and writes down how many points the top teams score and how fast their robots move objects. They use this information to improve their own strategy.
Which vocabulary word BEST fits this activity?
Scouting
Manipulator
Iterating
Chassis
A robot uses a claw to grab blocks off the field. This mechanism is responsible for interacting directly with the game elements.

Chassis
Scouting
Manipulator
Iterate
After a test run, a team notices their robot tips over when turning too fast. They make small changes to the frame and test again, repeating this process over and over until the robot is stable.
