Check Your Understanding:
  1. 1. Why is it important to reset the Gyro Sensor at the beginning of the program?
    2. It is not important. This is an optional step for this type of Gyro Sensor.
    The Gyro Sensor needs to perform a calibration to be able to accurately detect how much the robot has turned.
    Resetting the Gyro Sensor will extend the lifetime of the sensor.
    If you don’t reset the Gyro Sensor, the resolution of the sensor will only be in degrees.
  2. 2. True or False. The robot and Gyro Sensor should be kept still while the Gyro Sensor is calibrating.
    3. True
    False
  3. 3. Because of the way it is attached to the robot, the Gyro Sensor measures:
    4. The amount the robot’s body turns
    The amount the robot’s wheels turn
    The amount the robot is “tipping” forward or backward
    When an oscilloscope is nearby
  4. 4. What programming structure did we use with the Gyro Sensor to control the duration of the turn?
    5. The for loop
    The if-else loop
    The while loop
    The gyro loop
  5. 5. When the robot actually ran, what happened?
    6. The robot turned its body exactly 90 degrees
    The robot turned its body slightly more than 90 degrees
    The robot moved forward 90 degrees
    The robot spun in place forever
