Driving Module Quiz

Name: __________________________ Date: ____________

Instructions: Answer the following questions. Think deeply and explain your reasoning.

1. Imagine your robot is not driving straight even though both wheels are set to the same speed. List at least two possible reasons why this might happen, and describe how you would test or fix each one.

2. If you wanted your robot to drive in a perfect circle, what would you do with the wheel speeds? Explain why this works.

3. Suppose you want your robot to navigate a maze with sharp turns. What driving strategies or programming techniques could help it make accurate turns? Why?

4. Draw a path that would be difficult for a robot with only on/off wheel control to follow, and explain why proportional speed control would help.

5. Reflect: Describe a real-world scenario where precise robot driving is critical. What could go wrong if the robot’s movement is not accurate?
