Robotics Worksheet: Part 2 Test
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.
