Lego mindstorms building blocks can be put together in any fashion. You don't need a plan. As long as you put enough of them together it should hold.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement suggests that Lego mindstorms building blocks can be put together in any fashion without needing a plan, as long as enough of them are used, and it should hold. However, this statement is false. Lego mindstorms building blocks, like any other building blocks, require a plan and proper assembly to ensure stability and structural integrity. Simply putting enough blocks together without a plan may result in an unstable structure that could easily fall apart.Rate this question:

Batteries for the RCX brick should be charged at the end of every lesson.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Since many of the competitions you will enter in this subject depend on power, it would make sense to ensure that the batteries are at optimum power level (that is, that they are fully charged) before the beginning of every lesson.Rate this question:

The power output ports on the RCX brick are...
- A.
ACE
- B.
ABC
- C.
CBA
- D.
123
- E.
321
Correct Answer
B. ABCExplanation
The power output ports on the RCX brick are labeled as ABC. This means that there are three power output ports available, each labeled as A, B, and C. This labeling system helps users easily identify and connect their devices or motors to the correct power output ports on the RCX brick.Rate this question:

When a Tankbot goes in circles when instead of going straight the problem could be due to..
- A.
The wires being crossed and so delivering the wrong power to the wrong motor.
- B.
The wires being faulty
- C.
The motors being on back the front
- D.
The wires being attached differently at the motor and output port.
Correct Answer
D. The wires being attached differently at the motor and output port.Explanation
The correct answer is that the wires are being attached differently at the motor and output port. This means that the wires are not connected correctly, causing the power to be delivered to the wrong motor. This can result in the Tankbot going in circles instead of moving straight.Rate this question:

If your Tankbot is making a clattering noise it is most likely due to...
- A.
A faulty motor.
- B.
The tyre slipping on the wheel rim
- C.
The gears slipping
- D.
The RCX
Correct Answer
C. The gears slippingExplanation
If the Tankbot is making a clattering noise, it is most likely due to the gears slipping. Gears slipping can occur when there is a lack of proper lubrication or when the gears are worn out. This can cause the gears to not engage properly, resulting in a clattering noise as they slip and fail to transmit power effectively.Rate this question:

If the gears are slipping on your tankbot, it is most likely due to..
- A.
The motor coming loose from its mount, allowing the gears to force apart.
- B.
The gears missing teeth.
- C.
The batteries running out of power.
- D.
The wheels being the wrong size
Correct Answer
A. The motor coming loose from its mount, allowing the gears to force apart.Explanation
If the gears are slipping on the tankbot, it means that they are not engaging properly and are not able to transmit the power effectively. The most likely reason for this issue is that the motor has come loose from its mount. When the motor is not securely attached, it can cause the gears to force apart, resulting in slipping. This can be fixed by properly securing the motor to its mount, ensuring that the gears remain engaged and can transmit power efficiently.Rate this question:

If a flashing symbol like an hour glass appears on your tankbot screen it means that it is...
- A.
About to turn.
- B.
It has full power.
- C.
The batteries are almost empty
- D.
That you have put the wrong batteries in the tankbot
Correct Answer
C. The batteries are almost emptyExplanation
If a flashing symbol like an hourglass appears on the tankbot screen, it indicates that the batteries are almost empty. This symbol is commonly used to represent low battery levels in electronic devices. Therefore, it is important to recharge or replace the batteries to ensure the tankbot continues to function properly.Rate this question:
