Robotics Answer Key

Lesson 5: Programming the Light Sensor

Answer the following:

1. What is the name of the part that detects light and sends signal to robot? Answer: Light Sensor
Module
2. How many of the part in #1 are available to be used in the robot? Answer: 3 light sensors: left
and right light sensor, and the on-board light sensor.
3. What is the color of the part named in #1? Answer: Black

Determine the name of the parts

Wiring Diagram

Draw a line to where the parts should be connected to the Arduino board and name them each.
Write the program of the following:

1. The robot runs forward when the on-board light sensor receives bright light
2. The robot dances in the dark and rests in the light.
3. The robot goes fast when the light is bright and slows down when the light dims.
4. The robot plays different notes

Please refer to her notes, the program should look like this:

The exam might use a software, so please just check if she knows how to use the interface of the
program. It should be enough.
Lesson 6: Scorpion Bot

Answer the following:

1. Why is the robot called the “Scorpion Bot?” Answer: It is based on how a scorpion is built and
mimics some of a scorpion’s characteristics.
2. How does the tail affect the robot? Answer: it makes it look like a scorpion, and doing so
changes it center of gravity, making it easier for the robot to raise it’s head.

Determine the order of which the Scorpion Robot should be assembled. Put 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the box
below. Also list down the parts used for each step of the building process.

Please refer to textbook: Lesson 6 Page 17 for the answer.

Please write the program for the following:

1. Create a program that will make the scorpion robot move forward, then turn left-right when it
hears a clap.

Please refer to her class notes for the program.

Lesson 14: Intelligent Light Desk

Answer the following:

1. What is the first operating mode of the Intelligent desk light? Touch mode
2. What is the second operating mode? Voice Control mode
3. Explain each mode on how it works? Touch mode: the light brightness may be regulated when
the line follower sensor is touched. Voice control mode: the light will turn on when the sound
in the surrounding is sensed.
