Robotics Unit 6 Electrical

The V5 Electronic products include the V5 Robot Brain, the V5 Robot Battery, the V5 Electromagnet, and Sensors.

The V5 Electromagnet is the manipulator used to pick up game elements. The V5 Electromagnet functions by having an electrical current flow through a coil of wire called a solenoid. When an electrical current is flowing through the solenoid, a magnetic field will be produced. If the direction of the electric current is changed then the polarity of the magnetic field will also switch.

The V5 Sensors have been designed to work specifically with the V5 Robot Brain and utilizes the Brain's Smart Ports. The V5 Optical Sensor is one of the V5 Sensors and is used to detect the color of the disks.
