2 In, you are a Cybernetics Specialist tasked with repairing a fleet of personal assistant robots. Each robot is reprogrammed by a different Activating the Colored Wires You activate one or more colored wires by placing a power cell onto the circuit board node that directly connects to the wire. Example 1: combination of wires and power cells. To repair each robot, you ll need to activate the colored wires by placing power cells on numbered nodes touching those wires. Repair instructions are written in the form of clues, and your job is to interpret the clues and identify where to Place Power Cell Here Wire Activates Example 2: 2 place power cells to activate the specified wires. Place Power Cell Here... Bl ue... and Wires Activate Example : Place Power Cell Here......Entire Wire Activates 2 Now let s start repairing! n Introduction & How to Play Gr ee CODE 4

3 How to Play (Cont d) Boolean Expressions and Logic Gates Clues and Sensors BOOLEAN EXPRESSION: Each challenge contains one Boolean expression made up of one or more clue panels. From this information, you will be able to determine on which node you must place a power cell. Boolean Expression CLUES: Each of the clue panels contains at least one clue about a colored wire. Clue #1 Clue #2 SENSS: Each clue contains a sensor that connects back to the colored wires. Sensor Clue Panels If the wire is powered ON, then is True and is False. LOGIC GATES: Clue panels containing more than one clue also contain a logic gate. The meaning of each logic gate is found at the bottom of each challenge. TRUE Logic Gate If the wire is powered on, then is False and Not is True. TRUE 1

4 CODE Demo Challenge & Solution What is the correct node on which to place the power cell so that the wire does not power on? SOLUTION: Power cell goes on. Placing it here will power the Cyan wire but not power the wire. E: This needs to be TRUE to win. TRUE TRUE Re d an E: Power cells activate any wire(s) that touch it. In this case, it is the Cyan wire. Cy an 1 2 Cy Re d 2 1 Place Power Cell on Node
