Examples: cars, chainsaws]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448539 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448540 1.  Make a copy of this Padlet for your group.

2. Classify each part as input/output by correctly connecting it to the input or output label.

3.  Add two real-world examples to each part.]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448540 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448542 The color sensor detects different colors by shooting out beams of colored light and seeing which ones are reflected back -- they help our robots navigate and find things.

Examples:
- Smart car
- Eyes]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448542 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448543 The light matrix is our robot's screen -- it's used to display numbers, emotions, etc.

Examples:
- Light Shows 
- Traffic Lights]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448543 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448544 The rotation sensor measure degrees/rotations that our motor spins, to help our robots navigate + be consistent & precise.

Examples:
- Optical gyroscope
- Small engines]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448544 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448545 This sensor uses ultrasonic waves (sound waves that we can't hear) to help our robot detect nearby objects/obstacles.

Examples:
- Cars
- Robots measuring water level]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448545 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448547 The force sensor measures force and can also detect when it's pressed, released, or bumped.

Example:
- Ipad
- Computer touchpad/mouse
- Airpods]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448547 2029fuly1_1 https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448548 The gyro sensor measures angles/tilt to help our robots balance and turn.

Examples:
- Phones
- Hand]]> 2022-11-28 01:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2029fuly1_1/8p4q5okg15mtn4hd/wish/2399448548
