Hello everybody,
From an old thread: "Nikos' Fibonacci Spiral Challenge" Whit and I, had analyzed how we can make circles, arcs and spirals with S2 and GUI.
The Math theory doesn't change, however working with Blockly we need a differen approach.
This is all about that I'll try to explain in the next lines:
First challenge : How to make a circle with specific radius R with S3 and Blockly:

Calculations of the time for one circle with radius R:
At least “TIME” is the time that need the S3 to do the desired circle (blue color) with radius R. That TIME is equal to time that need the left wheel to do the big red circle with radius R+D/2. The distance that cover the left wheel is C=2π(R+D/2).
From measurements we also know that for a distance 17800mm the S3 need 10000ms. For the distance C the S3 need TIME so….
Time/10000=2π(R+D/2)/17800
Hope to see you on the Webinar today. Sorry you missed the last one.
