Across
  1. 2. a push or pull in a straight line
  2. 4. diameter of the output gear divided by diameter of the input gear (2 words, no space)
  3. 5. a device that transmits motion so that the output motion is different from the input motion
  4. 7. a small, bite-sized behavior that allows your robot to perform a simple yet significant task; it is big enough to describe a useful action, but small enough to code (for example: move forward for 2 seconds) (2 words, no space)
  5. 12. a compact and informal description of a computer program; it is a hybrid language that combines spoken/written language with programming language
  6. 13. if the driver is clockwise, the driven is _____ (fill in the blank)
  7. 15. relationship between speed and torque (as one increases, the other decreases)
  8. 16. repetitive motion that occurs in an arc and in two directions (for example: a clock pendulum)
  9. 17. motion in a circle and in one direction (for example: gears on a bicycle)
  10. 19. mechanisms are used to change the _____ of movement, type of movement, speed of movement, and the amount of force or torque (fill in the blank)
Down
  1. 1. a push or pull in a circle
  2. 3. a tiny behavior your robot can understand and perform directly (for example: turn on motor port 3 at half power) (2 words, no space)
  3. 6. a behavior at the highest level; it is always composed of smaller behaviors (for example: follow a define path through a maze) (2 words, no space)
  4. 8. repetitive back-and-forth motion in a straight line and in two directions (for example: a sewing machine needle)
  5. 9. this is increased when the input gear is greater than the output gear (i.e. moving from large to small)
  6. 10. the flow of power is _____ only if you can make the input shaft turn by turning the output shaft, such that the input become the output and the output becomes the input
  7. 11. this is increased when the input gear is smaller than the output gear (i.e. moving from small to large)
  8. 14. anything a robot does (for example: turn on a single motor, move forward, or track a line)
  9. 18. motion in a straight line and in one direction (for example: a chainsaw)
