1Question
A robotics team spends 6 days designing a robot, 8 days building the prototype, and 5 days testing it. How many total days are spent before the robot is ready for deployment?
2Question
A robot is expected to operate for 4 years before its first major upgrade. If the team starts using it in 2026, in what year will the upgrade most likely happen?
3Question
A school robot follows this life cycle: 20% of the time is spent in planning, 30% in construction, 25% in testing, and the rest in deployment and maintenance. If the total life cycle studied is 40 weeks, how many weeks are spent in deployment and maintenance?
4Question
A manufacturing robot needs maintenance every 15 days. Each maintenance visit takes 2 hours. Over a 90-day period, how many maintenance visits will occur, and how many total hours will be spent on maintenance?
5Question
A robotics company is comparing two options for the end of a robot's life cycle. Option A: recycle the robot after 5 years at a cost of $1,200. Option B: extend its life by 2 more years with upgrades costing $500 per year, then recycle it for $900. Which option is cheaper, and by how much?
Answer Key
#
Answer
1
19 days
2
2030
3
10 weeks
4
6 visits and 12 total hours
5
Option B is cheaper by $-? Wait total A = 1200; total B = 2*500 + 900 = 1900, so Option A is cheaper by $700
