TED-Ed: The Furnace Bots | Think Like A Coder, Ep 3 | Alex Rosenthal

Adila plans to control furnace bots by finding the original bot with a zero in its furnace. The bots replicate, passing serial numbers to offspring. Adila has a data crystal to control the bots, but it must be uploaded to the original bot. Hedge uses a variable to store serial numbers and a loop to find the original bot. Once found, Adila takes control, and the bots safeguard artistic output. Adila then leads Ethic and Hedge to the node of power.

What is Adila's ultimate goal with the furnace bots?

• To destroy them

• To take control of them

• To sell them

• To upgrade them

What is unique about the original O bot?

• It has a unique color

• It holds the key to controlling all bots

• It is the largest bot

• It can fly

How do furnace bots pass on their serial numbers?

• Through verbal communication

• By inscribing them on their shells

• By sending digital signals

• Through a shared database

What happens if the data crystal is uploaded to a non-original bot?

• The instructions are overridden and the crystal is destroyed

• The bot ignores the instructions

• The bot self-destructs

• The bot becomes more powerful

What is a variable in programming?

• A type of loop

• A container for storing data

• A programming language

• A type of robot

What is the purpose of a loop in Hedge's strategy?

• To repeat actions until a condition is met

• To create new bots

• To destroy faulty bots

• To communicate with other bots

What does Hedge do once he finds the original O bot?

• Uploads the control program

• Destroys it

• Replicates it

• Hides it
