I. Downloading vs. running a program: a) What happens to a program when it is downloaded? b) What happens to a robot when a program is ran? c) If you change a setting or block in a program, what do you have to do before it can be ran? d) How often does a program need to be downloaded? e) How do you get a robot to execute the commands in a program?

The motor blocks above are executed from left to right on the sequence beam. When the program is ran, each command block is done almost instantly after the block before it. II. a) What is the time lag between the execution from one command block to the next? b) What does the first and second blocks do? c) What does the third and fourth blocks do? d) Why will the first two blocks not affect the robot in anyway? d) How many degrees of rotation will the motors run with this program? Why?

III. What kind of blocks are the first two? What the port setting on the first block? What is the direction of the second block? What does the first block do? What kind of block is the third block? What is the setting of the third block assuming the comment is correct? When is the program allowed to continue beyond block 3? What does the third block do? What does the fourth block do?

IV. Notice the first picture is on the first tab at the bottom and the second picture is on the second tab. a) What is the first picture of? b) What is the second picture of? c) Which palette do we use?

V. Notice one of the two blocks has glass sand timer symbol and the ohter has an extension. a) what is the first block called? b) What is the second block called? c) What does the first block do? d) What does the second block do? e) What is the difference between the first and second block? f) Give an example of how the first block is used. g) Give an example of how the second blockis used. h) Which block can be used to "tell a motor how long to stay on" by not letting a program proceed down the sequence beam to motor blocks set to stop? I) Which block can be used to "give a command" to a sensor?
