Spirograph Logo

Design an algorithm to use [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks and the VR Pen on the VR Robot to create a Spirograph Logo on the Art Canvas+ Playground for your own future company!

• Select the Art Canvas+ Playground.
• Design an algorithm to create the Spirograph Logo.
  • Use the VR Pen to fill the Playground area with a background color.
  • Set the Pen color. Utilize the Pen on the VR Robot and use a loop to repeat the [Drive for] and [Turn for] commands for a set number of times to code the VR Robot to draw a simple shape, like a square, a triangle, or a hexagon, as the spirograph pattern.
  • Turn the VR Robot for a certain angle and/or drive the VR Robot for a certain distance to get ready to draw the next spirograph pattern.
  • Use a loop to code the VR Robot to repeat the creating spirograph pattern actions for a set number of times to create a Spirograph Logo.
  • Change the angles the robot turns and the distance the robot moves to create different designs and choose your favorite Spirograph Logo.
  • Add a note in your project to explain your design and why you consider it your best design.

Helpful Hints

• The rotation angle for the robot to draw a spirograph is: 

rotation angle = 360 / symmetry number

• Use a nested loop, a repeat block within another repeat block, to repeat the creating spirograph pattern actions for a set number of times to create a Spirograph Logo.

  

  • Matching Python command:

    for repeat_count in range(3):
    	for repeat_count in range(4):
    		# Inner Loop
    		wait(5, MSEC)
    	# Outer Loop
    	wait(5, MSEC)
