Create a Hexagon with a Robot
Problem Statement:
The pre-placed blocks will drive the robot forward 5 units to trace the first edge of the hexagon. Change the drive distance to 10 units and then add blocks to drive the robot around the outline of the hexagon.
#include <linkbot.h> 
CLinkbotI robot; 
double radius = 1.75; 
double trackwidth = 3.69; 

robot.driveDistance(10, radius); 
robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth); 
robot.driveDistance(10, radius); 
robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth); 
robot.driveDistance(10, radius); 
robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth); 
robot.driveDistance(10, radius); 
robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth); 
robot.driveDistance(10, radius); 
robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth); 
robot.driveDistance(10, radius);
robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth);
