Ten Parallelograms
Problem Statement:

We have already learned how to create a parallelogram. For this activity, we will need to modify the blocks in order to create ten evenly rotated parallelograms.

/* Code generated by RoboBlockly v2.0 */
#include <linkbot.h>
CLinkbotI robot;
double radius = 1.75;
double trackwidth = 3.6;
int count;
int count2;

count2 = 0;
while(count2 < 10) {
  count = 0;
  while(count < 2) {
    robot.driveDistance(6, radius);
    robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth);
    robot.driveDistance(6, radius);
    robot.turnRight(120, radius, trackwidth);
    count = count + 1;
  }
  robot.turnRight(36, radius, trackwidth);
  count2 = count2 + 1;
}
