Challenge Two: The Octagon
Draw an octagon with sides 70mm long
- Did you build on what you did in step one?
- Did you use the “repeat” block?
- How many degrees is Mirobot turning in total?
- How did you work out the angle to turn?
Challenge Three: The Triangle
Draw an equilateral triangle with sides 100mm long
- Did you build on what you did in the previous steps?
- How many degrees is Mirobot turning in total?
- How did you work out the angle to turn?
- Do you understand internal and external angles?
Challenge Three: The House
