  3. Basic Programming 1 • Test out your robot • Use the following programming steps activate the Demo Mode. • Test your robot’s movements ON THE FLOOR PUT THE ROBOT ON THE GROUND!!!!

  4. Basic Programming 2 • Sensors are a ________form of robot information. • Input • Output • RAM • Data • Sensors are a ________form of robot information. • Input • Output • RAM • Data

  5. Brick Parts - Front Brick Name USB Connection Attached Wireless Connection Battery Level Left, Right, Up, Down Used to navigate through the contents of the menus. Back Used to reverse actions to abort a running program and shut down the unit. Center Used to accept various questions, shut down, select desired settings, select desired program blocks.
