Question 2:  What do we call 'the area the robot can reach'?
Question 3:  We often don't call a robot arm an 'arm', because sometimes it doesn't look very much like an arm.  Instead, what do we call it?
Question 4:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram of a robot.  How many degrees of freedom does it have?
Question 5:  Shown here are four coordinate frames.  One does not follow the right-hand rule.  Which one?
Question 6:  Shown here are four kinematic diagrams.  One has the frames drawn correctly.  Which one?
Question 7:  Shown here are four kinematic diagrams.  Which one has something wrong with it?
Question 8:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Which standard manipulator type is this?
Question 9:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Which standard manipulator type is this?
Question 10: Shown here is a video of a robot manipulator moving around.  Which of these kinematic diagrams is correct for this robot?
Undergraduate/Graduate Questions (both undergraduates AND graduates should answer these questions):
Question 11:  Which of the following kinematic diagrams is a spherical wrist?
Question 12:  Only one of these spherical wrist diagrams is labeled correctly.  Which one?
Question 13: A 6-DoF manipulator can be made by attaching a spherical wrist to the end of a standard manipulator type.  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Which description matches this diagram?
Question 14:  A 6-DoF manipulator can be made by attaching a spherical wrist to the end of a standard manipulator type.  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Which description matches this diagram?
