Correct Answer
C. To keep yourself and everyone safe.Explanation
The point of safety in robotics is to ensure the well-being and protection of both the operator and all individuals involved. Safety measures are implemented to prevent accidents, injuries, and potential harm to anyone in the vicinity of the robotic system. This includes not only the operator but also other workers, bystanders, or anyone who may come into contact with the robot. By prioritizing safety, the aim is to create a secure environment where everyone can work and interact with the robot without any risks or hazards.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Clean up your workplace.
D. Understanding and following established rules.
F. Wearing protective equipment.
H. Reporting any injuries or accidents.Explanation
To ensure safety, it is important to clean up the workplace to prevent any potential hazards. Understanding and following established rules is crucial as it helps maintain a safe working environment. Wearing protective equipment provides an additional layer of safety. Reporting any injuries or accidents is essential for prompt medical attention and to prevent further harm.Rate this question:

What protective equipment should be worn to protect against flying metal or wood particles in the air?
- A.
A helmet.
- B.
A pair of gloves.
- C.
A bullet-proof vest.
- D.
A pair of goggles.
Correct Answer
D. A pair of goggles.Explanation
To protect against flying metal or wood particles in the air, a pair of goggles should be worn. Goggles provide a barrier for the eyes, preventing any particles from entering and causing potential injury or damage. A helmet is designed to protect the head, gloves are used to protect the hands, and a bullet-proof vest is meant to protect against bullets, none of which are specifically designed to protect against flying particles in the air. Therefore, the most appropriate protective equipment in this scenario is a pair of goggles.Rate this question:

How heavy will the FRC robot usually be? Hint: it usually takes two people to lift the robot.
- A.
10 lbs or less
- B.
Around 50 lbs
- C.
100-150 lbs
- D.
IT'S OVER 9,000 lbs!!!
Correct Answer
C. 100-150 lbsExplanation
The FRC robot usually weighs between 100-150 lbs. This can be inferred from the given hint that it usually takes two people to lift the robot, indicating that it is not extremely light (10 lbs or less) or extremely heavy (over 9,000 lbs). The weight range of 100-150 lbs seems reasonable for a robot that requires two people to lift.Rate this question:

Which of the following activities require adult/mentor supervision? Note: activities we are NOT allowed to perform don't count.
- A.
Use of the bandsaw.
- B.
Use of the dremel.
- C.
Use of the handsaw.
- D.
Use of the drill.

D. Use of the drill.
G. Use of the belt-sander.
H. Use of the soldering kit.Explanation
The activities that require adult/mentor supervision are those that involve potentially dangerous tools or equipment. In this case, the use of the dremel, handsaw, drill, belt-sander, and soldering kit all require adult/mentor supervision because they can cause injuries if not used properly. The bandsaw, jigsaw, and flamethrower are not mentioned as activities that require supervision, so they can be assumed to be activities that are not allowed or not relevant to the question.Rate this question:

How should you treat a screwdriver when using it?
- A.
Like a crowbar- Use it to pry open stuff that seems stuck.
- B.
Like a scalpel- Put the object on top of a hard surface, not your hand.
- C.
Like a chisel- Chip at whatever you want broken until it's broken.
- D.
Like a USB- IF it doesn't work, hurl it at the wall.
Correct Answer
B. Like a scalpel- Put the object on top of a hard surface, not your hand.Explanation
When using a screwdriver, it is important to treat it like a scalpel. This means putting the object that needs to be worked on top of a hard surface, rather than holding it in your hand. This ensures stability and prevents any potential injuries that may occur if the screwdriver slips or the object suddenly moves. Treating a screwdriver like a scalpel emphasizes the need for caution and precision in its use.Rate this question:

- C.
Keep the positive and negative sides apart to avoid short circuiting.
- D.
Lift the battery up by the two wires connecting to it.
- E.
If the battery is damaged, do not try to dispose of the battery yourself but notify a supervisor instead.
Correct Answer
D. Lift the battery up by the two wires connecting to it.Explanation
Lifting the battery up by the two wires connecting to it is not recommended because it can damage the wires and cause a short circuit. It is important to handle the battery carefully and avoid putting stress on the wires to ensure safe operation.Rate this question:

What dangerous chemical substance does a robotics battery contain?
- A.
HCl- Hydrochloric acid
- B.
H2SO4- Sulfuric acid
- C.
HNO3- Nitric acid
- D.
HBr- Hydrobromic acid
Correct Answer
B. H2SO4- Sulfuric acidExplanation
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a dangerous chemical substance commonly found in robotics batteries. It is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes. Sulfuric acid is also toxic and can release harmful fumes when it reacts with other substances. Therefore, it is important to handle robotics batteries containing sulfuric acid with caution and follow proper safety protocols to prevent accidents and injuries.Rate this question:

When working with a structure that includes pneumatics, before you work on it, you should ALWAYS make sure the ___________________ is at zero.
Correct Answer
pressure gauge
gauge
pressureExplanation
Before working on a structure that includes pneumatics, it is crucial to ensure that the pressure gauge is at zero. This is important because a pressure gauge measures the pressure within the system, and if it is not at zero, it could indicate that there is still pressure trapped within the system. Releasing this pressure before working on the structure is essential to prevent any accidents or injuries that could occur due to sudden release of pressurized air.Rate this question:

If there is a tool/part you don't know how to use, what should you do?
- A.
Mess around with it and try to figure out how it works.
- B.
Ask a friend.
- C.
Ask a senior member or supervisor for assistance.
- D.
Throw it away and call it "broken".
Correct Answer
C. Ask a senior member or supervisor for assistance.Explanation
When faced with a tool or part that one does not know how to use, the best course of action is to ask a senior member or supervisor for assistance. This is the most logical and responsible approach as they are likely to have the necessary knowledge and experience to guide and teach the proper usage of the tool or part. Messing around with it without proper understanding may lead to accidents or damage, while asking a friend may not guarantee accurate information. Throwing it away and calling it "broken" is an impulsive and wasteful reaction.Rate this question:

What is the mnemonic to remember how to tighten or loosen a screw/bolt? Hint: 4 words.
Correct Answer
righty tighty lefty loosey
Righty tighty lefty toosey
Righty Tighty Lefty LooseyExplanation
The correct answer is "righty tighty lefty loosey." This mnemonic is used to remember the direction in which to turn a screw or bolt to tighten or loosen it. "Righty tighty" indicates that you turn the screw or bolt to the right (clockwise) to tighten it, and "lefty loosey" indicates that you turn it to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen it. The alternative answer "Righty tighty lefty toosey" is incorrect and does not accurately represent the correct directions.Rate this question:
