Output
Input
Feedback
Process
A robot uses wheels to move across the floor. Which subsystem is being described?
Control System
Movement System
Power Source
Sensor
Why is feedback important in a technological system?
It provides energy to the system
It tells the system how well it is working and helps improve it
It moves the system
It is the result produced by the system
Which of the following best describes the design process?
Move, stop, turn, repeat
Plan, design, test, and improve
Input, process, output
Build, break, rebuild

Constraint
Efficiency
Feedback
Prototype
A robot must fit inside a box that is 30 cm wide. What is this requirement called in the design process?
Output
Constraint
Feedback
Structure
Imagine you are designing a robot to sort objects by color. Which subsystems would you need to include, and why?
Only a power source, because energy is all that is needed
Movement system and sensor, to detect color and move objects
Control system and structure, to hold the robot together
Feedback system only, to improve sorting
You are testing a prototype robot and notice it uses too much energy. What steps could you take to improve its efficiency?
Ignore the problem and continue testing
Analyze which parts use the most energy and redesign them
Remove the power source
Make the robot larger
A robot is not responding correctly to commands. How could feedback help you solve this problem?
Feedback can tell you what commands were sent and how the robot responded, helping you identify and fix issues
Feedback will make the robot move faster
Feedback will provide more energy to the robot
Feedback will change the robot’s structure
