    1. 1. What is the name of the programming software for the VEX IQ?
      2. IQ-C
      ROBOTC
      Assembly
      VEXPROGRAMMO
    2. 2. To make sure ROBOTC is properly configured to program the virtual robot, you should:
      3. Make sure that the “Robot” > “Platform Type” is set to “VEX IQ”
      Connect your physical robot to the computer via the USB cable
      Make sure that the “Robot” > “Compiler Target” is set to “Virtual Worlds” when you’re using a virtual VEX IQ robot
      The first and third answers are correct
    3. 3. You can build a ROBOTC Text-Based program by:
      4. Typing out or dragging and dropping in commands into the ROBOTC text editor
      Using text-to-speech on your computer to dictate what you want the robot to do
      Drawing the path of the robot with your mouse or trackpad
      Reverse engineering the firmware loaded on the VEX IQ Brain
    4. 4. True / False: Robots run commands one-at-a-time, starting at the top of the program.
      5. True - The robot runs in sequence, starting from the top to the bottom
      False - The robot runs lines that has highest priority

    ROBOTC Experience

    ROBOTC contains over 150 sample programs that cover how to use all features and functionality of the VEX IQ hardware system.

    You can open sample program from the "File > Open Sample Programs" folder.

    Each sample program is organized in a category folder.

    ROBOTC has detailed help documentation to explain every command and feature found inside of ROBOTC.

    To open the help documentation use the "Help > Open Help" menu from inside of ROBOTC.

    That ROBOTC has multiple options and preferences available to customize your experience. For this curriculum, you will use ROBOTC Simple Behaviors using the Natural Language setting.

    Ensure the "Natural Language" mode is enabled, otherwise you may experience compiler errors. You can do this from "Robot - Platform Type - Natural Language" mode.
