    Check Your Understanding:
    1. 1. True / False: The Measurement Toolkit allows you to get key distances and angles
      in the Robot Virtual Worlds.
      2. True - The Measurement Toolkit displays information when used
      False - The Measurement Toolkit only places waypoints
    2. 2. Which set of 3 buttons allows you to control the Measurement Toolkit?
      3. Show, Increment, Decrement
      Place, Add, Clear
      Show, Add, Clear
      Place, Increment, Decrement
    3. 3. True / False: Pressing the Show button enables and disables the Measurement Toolkit.
      4. True - The Show Button shows and hides the Measurement Toolkit.
      False - The Measurement Toolkit must be enabled in ROBOTC program in order to be used in Robot Virtual Worlds.
    4. 4. How do you add a custom marker, or waypoint, in the virtual world?
      5. Open up the programming console, and type “add marker”, along with the desired coordinates
      Click the Add button to enable makers to be “added”, then click in the world where you would like the marker to be placed
      Use text-to-speech on your computer to specify where the marker should be placed
      Press the Clear button in the Measurement Toolkit
    5. 5. How many markers, or waypoints, does the Toolkit allow you to place?

    Real Time Markers

    Set 3 waypoints and run your sample program you previously downloaded.

    Keep note of what happens to the measurement markers as the robot moves.

    Try it!

    What Happens?

    The marker's information, in correlation with the robot, updates in real time as the robot moves.
    Did You Know?

    Dynamic Markers

    As the robot moves, the measurement markers will dynamically update.

    Once the robot reaches a measurement marker, it will disappear.
