30 Scenario-Based Questions with Answers
1. You want Edison to move forward. What block will you use? → Drive forward block.
2. Your robot isn’t turning left. What should you check?
→ Check motor control and turn block direction.
3. The robot plays a sound when it sees light. Which block is used?
→ Light sensor + Sound block.
4. The robot continues moving despite an obstacle. What is wrong?
→ Obstacle detection may not be programmed correctly.
5. You want Edison to stop for 5 seconds. What will you use?
→ Wait block with 5 seconds.
6. The robot doesn’t follow the black line. What might be the issue?
→ Line tracking sensor is not activated or line is too light.
7. You added a condition: if the light is bright, move. What is this?
→ If block using light sensor.
8. The robot performs actions out of order. Why?
→ Sequence of blocks is incorrect.
9. You want Edison to repeat a sound 3 times. What will you do?
→ Use a loop block with a count of 3.
10. Your robot is not moving. What's a basic check?
→ Ensure motors are connected and start block is used.
