Robotics-Block Coding Quiz 1

Movement blocks enable you to...

• start a programming stack

• get information from the motors

• run two motors in a synchronized motion

• detect the color of an object

Answer explanation

Movement blocks enable you to run two motors in a synchronized motion. They're primarily used to move Driving bases around. Only motors of the same type (e.g. two Medium motors) can be synchronized.

This block returns the...

• current speed of a motor

• current position of a motor from 0 to 359 degrees

• the power level (%) currently being used on the specified motor

• number of degrees that the specified motor has turned since the program started

Operator blocks...

• receive information from the sensors

• perform mathematical operations that can be done using numerical values

• modify the linear flow of block execution

• are always the first block in a programming stack

Answer explanation

What is the best way to calculate values from a specific part of a programming stack?

• using a variable block

• using an operator block

• using an event block

• using a control block

Which block is best for repeating a task until a cue is given?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

All the block held inside this block will loop UNTIL the specified Boolean condition is true.

When the specified condition becomes true, blocks beneath it will play.

Boolean blocks...

• perform the main commands in a program

• are placed between the beginning and the end of the loop

• hold values, sensor readings, or store the value of a variable

• are conditions that can either be true or false

Answer explanation

The diamond-shaped blocks.

Reporter blocks...

• perform the main commands in a program

• are placed between the beginning and the end of the loop

• hold values, sensor readings, or store the value of a variable

• are conditions that can either be true or false

Answer explanation

The oval-shaped blocks.

C blocks...

• perform the main commands in a program

• are placed between the beginning and the end of the loop

• hold values, sensor readings, or store the value of a variable

• are conditions that can either be true or false

Answer explanation

The C-shaped blocks.

Stack blocks...

• perform the main commands in a program

• are placed between the beginning and the end of the loop

• hold values, sensor readings, or store the value of a variable

• are conditions that can either be true or false

Answer explanation

They're the blocks that can make the motors move and the lights light up!

This is an example of a...

• Stack block

• C block

• Reporter block

• Boolean block
