input and output components Flashcards
a programmable robotics toy released by the LEGO Group.
LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0
It originated
from the programmable sensor blocks used in LEGO’s line of educational toys. It comes in a kit
containing many pieces including the controller, motor, and sensors.
LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0
gives your robot the ability to move.
Servo Motor
It uses a built-in rotation sensor to accurately
control the motor’s output shaft.
servo motor
has an orange tip known as a push button, which provides the touch feature.
touch sensor
Recommended robot: vehicle, tank, crane
servo motor
is capable of measuring the light intensity.
light/color sensor
Recommended robot: catapult, cannon, Morse code machine
touch sensor
It determines the brightness or
darkness of its surrounding area and its surface, enabling it to identify different colors.
light/color sensor
can detect an object by determining the distance between the sensor and the
object, allowing your creations to “see.”
Ultrasonic Sensor
sometimes called Pins, are used to fasten LEGO parts together
Pegs
it rotates with the wheel or any object attached to it.
axle
are rigid horizontal blocks that directly support the weight of the prototype robot
beam
are also rigid blocks that can support the weight of the prototype robot - are bent in different
ways.
angular beams
are small pieces that have cross-opposite holes. These blocks are used to connect parts
together using pegs and axles
Cross block
it is used to adjust the power, speed, and rotation of the motor.
gear
They are classified according to its teeth or crown, with each gear having different functions and
complexities.
gear
With an axle and motor, the _ helps the robot move.
wheel
___ is made up of synthetic rubber to provide a more powerful
grip when the wheel is turning, allowing the robot to move forward or backward.
tire
is the simplest type of bearing
Bushing
used to separate the faces of two parts to allow the wheel to
move freely or to lock it in place.
bushing
They can be used as a pulley by
connecting two gears, or for suspensions and as shock absorbers.
rubber belt
These ___ are used
to connect motors and sensors to NXT Controllers
data wires
used to transfer data files between a computer and the NXT Controller.
USB data cable
used as a bullet for shooting
NXT ball
used to enable robots to move forward in an upward slope
Tank Track
