For this part, gather all the data points you have collected throughout this investigation, then answer the following questions.
- There should be two lines on your graph. What does each represent?
- The Data Logging Block was set to record 40 points of data each second during the experiment. What happened to those data points?
- Hint: Click the "Color and Plot Style" button next to one of the lines on your Dataset Table. Choose one of the shapes for "Plot Style".
- Our original hypothesis was that the Gyro Sensor "lagged" behind the actual robot's body when turning.
- Compare the times at which the two sensors said the robot reached the 200-degree mark.
- How do the two values compare? Which one comes earlier, and which one comes later?
- What does this suggest about the behavior of the Gyro Sensor?
- Does this support or refute the hypothesis?
- Compare the amount of turn the two sensors said the robot had made at 0.5 seconds into the program.
- How do the two values compare? Which one says the robot has turned farther, and which one says the robot has turned less?
- What does this suggest about the behavior of the Gyro Sensor?
- Does this support or refute the hypothesis?
- Write a one-page conclusion based on the analysis and interpretation you performed in the last few steps.
- State the original question being examined, along with the initial hypothesis.
- Explain the procedure you used to gather your data. Not every detail, just the parts that relate to answering the original question.
- State what the data showed.
- Interpret what that data means, in terms of answering the original question.
- State your conclusion about the answer to the original question.
