|---|---|
| These are devices that measure a physical quantity and convert it into an appropriate signal or data, which can be read by an instrument or by a controller. | Sensors |
| Thermometer, light sensor, and cameras that record and analyze data are examples of these devices. | Sensors |
| These are devices that manage, interpret, and control the accepted data to create an action. | Controllers |
| Integrated circuits and LEGO NXT Controller are examples of these devices. | Controllers |
| These are devices that are used to move or control a certain system or machine. | Actuators |
| Motors that move wheels or propellers are examples of these devices. | Actuators |
| It is the brain of the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education robot. | NXT Brick |
| It is a computer-controlled LEGO brick that provides programmable, intelligent, decision-making behavior. | NXT Brick |
| It gives your robot the ability to move. | NXT Servo Motor |
| It uses a built-in rotation sensor to accurately control the motor’s output shaft. | NXT Servo Motor |
| When programming this motor, you can use degrees or rotation to specify a desired position. | NXT Servo Motor |
| One rotation is equal to 360 degrees. | NXT Servo Motor |
| Half a turn is equal to 180 degrees. | NXT Servo Motor |
| It has an orange tip known as a push button, which provides the touch feature. | NXT Touch Sensor |
| When pressed, the push button moves backward into the sensor and sends signal to the NXT Controller. | NXT Touch Sensor |
| Pressed, Released, and Bumped are its three different modes. | NXT Touch Sensor |
| This mode is detected when you keep the button pressed. | Pressed |
| This mode is detected every time you release the button. | Released |
| This mode is detected every time you press the button and release it quickly. | Bumped |
| It is capable of measuring light intensity. | NXT RGB Light/Color Sensor |
| It determines the brightness or darkness of its surrounding area and its surface, enabling it to identify different colors. | NXT RGB Light/Color Sensor |
| It measures colors, reads the light intensity in its surroundings, and is used as a Color Lamp. | NXT RGB Light/Color Sensor |
| It can detect an object by determining the distance between the sensor and the object, allowing your creations to “see”. | NXT Ultrasonic Sensor |
| It can detect distance in centimeters and in inches. | NXT Ultrasonic Sensor |
| Its detection limit is from 0 to 255 centimeters or 0 to 100 inches. | NXT Ultrasonic Sensor |
| Its accuracy is +/- 3cm or 1.1 inches. | NXT Ultrasonic Sensor |
| Like bats, it can detect objects from a distance thru Echo Location. | NXT Ultrasonic Sensor |
| It measures distance by calculating the time it takes for sound waves to be reflected back whenever it hits an object. | Echo Location |
| Bevel Gear, Double Bevel Gear, and Knob Wheel belong to this minor parts category. | Gears |
| The term encompasses a variety of pieces that transmit motion. | Gears |
| It generally fits the description of a wheel with teeth. | Gear |
| It is sometimes called a gearwheel. | Gear |
| Straight and Angled are the two types shown under this minor parts category. | Beams |
| The term encompasses a variety of pieces that compose the structures of creations. | Beams |
| They are to your LEGO creations what a foundation, walls, and a roof are to a house. | Beams |
| Axles, Pegs, and Connector Blocks belong to this minor parts category. | Connectors |
| It is one of the most vital connectors but it’s nothing more than a cross-shaped shaft. | Axle |
| Though quite small, they are also vital components. | Pegs |
| They can be used to easily yet firmly connect two or more pieces. | Pegs |
| They are connectors in every sense and rightfully belong in the connectors category but they usually require that you use them with pegs, axles, or both. | Connector Blocks |
| It is a piece that does not fit into any of the previous four categories. | Miscellaneous Element |
| Tire, wheel, ball, and tread are examples of these elements. | Miscellaneous Elements |
