 Answer Key: Unit Quiz

  1. Many possible answers, one example: Roomba is a real robot that:
    a) senses it environment by knowing when it touches walls
    b) responds to instructions by turning when it detects a wall
  2. Eight components are visible:
    1. The Brick
    2. The battery
    3. Wires
    4. Gyro Sensor
    5. Touch Sensor
    6. Ultrasonic Sensor
    7. Color Sensor
    8. Large Motor
    9. Medium Motor
  3. The tan and blue pegs are different from the black peg in that they have both an axle end and a round end, while the black peg has two round ends.  The blue and tan pegs are different from each other in that the blue peg has small friction bumps that inhibit attached parts from turning, while the tan peg has no bumps and allows attached parts to move freely.  The black pegs are used to attach two beams.  The blue or tan pegs can attach a beam to a motor, gear or wheel.  (Note: there are numerous possible answers)
  4. This part is an axle.  It can be used to connect a wheel or gear to a motor, or it can be used as a structural building piece.
  5. The crank is connected to the large gear, while the wheel is connected to the small gear.  This way, one turn of the crank causes the wheel to turn multiple times, thus making the bike go faster.
