Robotics Bellwork - 3-3-25

What is the main purpose of using motors in the LEGO SPIKE Prime robot?

• To power the sensors

• To move the robot and control the grabber

• To store program data

• To connect the robot to a computer

If the robot's grabber does not close tightly enough to pick up the ping pong ball, what is the most effective way to fix it?

• Reduce the motor speed

• Increase the motor power for the grabber

• Remove one of the wheels

• Change the color of the object

What programming concept is used to make the robot repeat an action until a certain condition is met?

• Sequence

• Loop

• Variable

• Function

If the robot overshoots the location where it should drop the object that is picked up, what should be adjusted in the program?

• The speed of the motors

• The number of loops in the code

• The distance value in the movement command

• The color of the grabber

What is the best way to program the robot to avoid obstacles while driving?

• Increase motor power and push through obstacles

• Use an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles and adjust movement

• Manually control the robot to steer around obstacles

• Use a random movement function

What would happen if the robot’s grabber motor was programmed with too much power?

• It would pick up the object more gently

• It might squeeze the object too hard or break the mechanism

• It would drop the object immediately

• It would stop functioning
