2. Batteries for the RCX brick should be charged at the end of every lesson.

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.

3. 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.

Explanation

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.

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.

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.

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.

Submit
7. If the gears are slipping on your tankbot, it is most likely due to..

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.
