Batteries for the RCX brick should be charged at the end of every lesson.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

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.

Axles can be held in place by putting a wheel on them.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Both wheels and axles need to be held in place by small sleeves.

6.

The power output ports on the RCX brick are...
- ACE
- ABC
- CBA
- 123
- 321
Correct Answer

A. ABC

Explanation

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.

When a Tankbot goes in circles when instead of going straight the problem could be due to..
- The wires being crossed and so delivering the wrong power to the wrong motor.
- The wires being faulty
- The motors being on back the front
- The wires being attached differently at the motor and output port.
Correct Answer

A. 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.

If your Tankbot is making a clattering noise it is most likely due to...
- A faulty motor.
- The tyre slipping on the wheel rim
- The gears slipping
- The RCX
Correct Answer

A. The gears slipping

Explanation

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.

9.

If the gears are slipping on your tankbot, it is most likely due to..
- The motor coming loose from its mount, allowing the gears to force apart.
- The gears missing teeth.
- The batteries running out of power.
- 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.

If a flashing symbol like an hour glass appears on your tankbot screen it means that it is...
- About to turn.
- It has full power.
- The batteries are almost empty
- That you have put the wrong batteries in the tankbot
Correct Answer

A. The batteries are almost empty

Explanation

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.

Which of the following are true of the RCX?
- It is the command center of the robot, because it controls its actions through the programs within it and supplies power to run them.
- The RCX can hold 5 different programs. However, as part of its firmware it also comes with three preset programs.
- The RCX has three input ports ABC where information can be gathered and three output ports 123 supplying power to motors.
- The RCX has three input ports 123 where information can be gathered and three output ports ABC supplying power to motors
Correct Answer(s)

A. It is the command center of the robot, because it controls its actions through the programs within it and supplies power to run them.
A. The RCX can hold 5 different programs. However, as part of its firmware it also comes with three preset programs.
A. The RCX has three input ports 123 where information can be gathered and three output ports ABC supplying power to motors

Explanation

The RCX is the command center of the robot as it controls its actions through the programs within it and supplies power to run them. It can hold 5 different programs and also comes with three preset programs as part of its firmware. The RCX has three input ports 123 where information can be gathered and three output ports ABC supplying power to motors.
