For a Grade: Make a "Turn Circle Circumference" link on your Virtual World page. Put a screen shot of the control panel of the block that makes your robot turn in a circle. Put the number of rotations into the correct equation to find the distance around your turn circle. Put this filled out equation on the page. Then do the calculation.

This distance is the exact Turn Circle Circumference of the robot.

Directions

Put a "Turn Circle Circumference" link on your "Virtual World" page.

In this activity you will determine the Turning Circle Circumference of the robot.

Use the labyrinth challenge arena.

Use a motor block set to port B. Enter different duration values until the robot turns in a complete circle, no more and no less. At the start the bar on the front of the robot is parallel to the grid line just in front of it. The bar should be parallel after doing a complete circle.

Use this number of rotations to work the two equations backwards and determine the Turn Circle Circumference Use the Turn Circle Circumference to determine the Turn Radius of your robot..
