Voltage or current that passes through a circuit
A chain of Bits that are connected together
What is a 'Bit' in the Blueprint Engineering Kit?

Label each bit in the block diagram of the circuit shown below: Fill in the blank for each box in the diagram.
Power Bit, Button Bit, Rotary Potentiometer Bit, Data Display Bit
Power Bit, Switch Bit, Light Sensor Bit, Data Display Bit
Power Bit, Button Bit, Rotary Potentiometer Bit, LED Bit
Power Bit, Button Bit, Light Sensor Bit, Data Display Bit
Which Bits can modify a signal percentage?
Rotary Potentiometer Bit
Distance Sensor Bit
Threshold Bit
All of the above
What is the signal percentage on the Data Display Bit after modifying your circuit as instructed?
100%
0%
50%
75%
When the Motor Bit is in Positive Velocity mode, what should the lights on the Motor look like?
The two left lights should be blue, and the right two lights should be off.
All four lights should be red.
Only the right two lights should be blue, and the left two lights should be off.
All lights should be off.
The Blueprint Engineering system can send any signal from -100% to +100%.
True
False
In the block diagram with a Signal Polarity Switch, what is the signal percentage on the Data Display Bit when the Rotary Potentiometer Bit is set to?
-100%
0%
50%
100%
Modify this circuit once again to include two Rotary Potentiometer Bits connected to each other to see how it modifies the signal strength. The Rotary Potentiometer Bit acts as a multiplier to the signal, so two Rotary Potentiometers set to 50% would produce a signal of:
50%
25%
75%
100%
Label the parts of this circuit
