Oh My PLC!

Host:
The only game show about PLC devices that you're currently watching. Just a reminder how this works. I'll ask a question and the first one of our contestants to buzz in with the correct answer gets the point, which can be stolen by their competitors because on Oh My PLC! we find a good give-and-take electrifying. 

Let's get to the question. What do you call the microprocessor-based controllers that use relay logic to reduce the complexity of systems? 
A: relays, 
B: nano PLCs, or
C: nanopods.

Josh:
I'm going to use some logic here to reduce the complexity of my choices and say, C, nanopods.

Host:
That's wildly incorrect.

Josh:
Then it's A, relays.

Host:
You can't just keep guessing. That's not how this works.

Travis:
Pretty confident it's B. Nanapods aren't a thing. And though relays are a form of logic, they aren't the specific microprocessor-based controller you were looking for.

Host:
That is correct. Here's Asma with the try to steal.

Asma:
Well, even though PLCs were introduced way back in the 1960s, they've evolved substantially over the years. Now, they're way more sophisticated, include mathematical functionality more complex than boolean logic, and can even communicate with other devices.

Host:
While all of that is in fact true, I'm not sure any of you are clear on the concept of a steal. Judges? Asma with the shocking victory this round. We're going to take a station break and return with the next round of-
