Robot tip (Find the topic, use the formula): Find the topic: moving, motors, gears, wheels, sensors, echo, line or gyro. Use the rule: teeth × turns; circumference × turns; 17 cm per ms of echo; below the threshold = black; right adds degrees. Check: put your answer back into the rule.

NameDateTime takenScore ___ / 40
  1. 1.🧭 A robot’s gyro reads 0° when it faces north and counts up to 359° as it turns right (east is 90°). It starts at 180°. It turns left 30°, then left 180°. What does the gyro read now (0° to 359°)?
