Check Your Understanding

1. What is the name of the programming software for the EV3?
   1. EV3-C
   2. ROBOTC
   3. Assembly
   4. ROBOPROGRAMO
2. To make sure ROBOTC is properly configured to program the EV3, you should:
   1. Make sure that the Robot > Platform Type is set to EV3
   2. Make sure that the Robot > Compiler Target is set to Physical Robot when you’re using a physical EV3 robot
   3. Make sure that the Robot > Compiler Target is set to Virtual Worlds when you’re using a virtual EV3 robot
   4. All of the above
3. You can build a ROBOTC Graphical program by:
   1. Dragging commands from the Graphical Functions area on the left and dropping them into the program area on the right
   2. Using text-to-speech on your computer to dictate what you want the robot to do
   3. Typing all of the commands and syntax very carefully
   4. Reverse engineering the firmware loaded on the EV3 Brain
4. True or False: Robots run commands one-at-a-time, starting at the top of the program.
   1. True: The robot runs in sequence, starting from the top to the bottom.
   2. False: The robot runs lines that have highest priority.
5. True or False: The boxes built into a command block allow you to change how the robot will run that command.
   1. True: The boxes change how the robot runs that command.
   2. False: Changing the boxes doesn't affect how the robot would run that command.
