VEX Robot
Description
Robots are similar to humans if you consider that both use inputs and outputs to sense and react to the world. Most humans use five senses to perceive the world. Based on the input of these senses, your brain makes decisions to activate a response. Through muscle activation, the response can take many forms, including speaking, moving your hand, or running. Robots behave similarly when the world is sensed through physical touch, ambient light intensity, or distance to a solid object. The robot processor translates these inputs and activates a response by triggering a motor or light emitter. In this activity you will use the ROBOTC software to monitor inputs and control outputs. This will allow you to test the behavior of components before writing a program and to use it as a troubleshooting tool for analyzing program performance.
Conclusion Questions
1. These motors and sensors could be used in multiple things. One thing that uses some of these devices include childrens toys. One specific toy, a Fur-Real-Friend, uses nearly all of the motors and sensors. It's in the form of a mouse with little wheel feet. It's nose has a small button that can be pressed for the mouse to turn and move into a different direction. ITS SO CUTE.
2. The only time when the sensors and motors did not give me the expected outputs was when I entered the wrong inputs (either too big or too small).
