ROBOTICS CROSSWORD

1. Common connection shared by all components (aka the “Earth” of electronics 🌍)
6. Lets your phone talk to the bot wirelessly, like Jarvis and Iron Man 🦾
7. Technique used to control motor speed, like volume sliders for electricity 🎚️
10. The brain of the bot (also sounds like a spicy pasta name 🍝)
13. A closed path for current — basically the race track for electrons 🏎️
15. If wires touch incorrectly, you get this — not the TikTok “shorts” kind 😬
16. Acts like a bridge between Arduino signals and Motor power (hint: not the Uber kind 🚖)

2. What you do when your circuit fails — no, not killing real insects 🐞
3. Allows current to flow in only one direction (like one-way traffic 🚦)
4. The bot’s energy source — without it, everything’s just… dead 🔋
5. Stores electrical energy briefly — like Thor charging his hammer ⚡
8. The muscles of the bot, making wheels actually move 🚗
9. What robotics wants you to do — future projects, new ideas 💡
11. Component that resists current, like Gandalf shouting “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” 🧙‍♂️
12. Popular Bluetooth module for RC bots (hint: no, it’s not a new Star Wars droid 🤖)
14. What literally connects the dots in your circuit diagram 🔌
