This project extends the following Spirolateral projects which should be viewed before using this project. The two projects 'define' spirolaterals and can be used to explore the topic on your own. Spirolateral Bot 1 - all 90º right turns https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11260219/ Spirolateral Bot 2 - mix left and right 90º turns https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11267799/
I was inspired to do this project while reading the following paper: THE ART OF SPIROLATERALS Robert J. Krawczyk College of Architecture Illinois Institute of Technology Download his paper here: https://mypages.iit.edu/~krawczyk/mosaic00.pdf This project will draw the patterns shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, a, b given in THE ART OF SPIROLATERALS paper. I own a Norland Small Robot (www.smallrobot.com) that is controlled by a TI-83+ calculator. I use a top-view picture of this robot as sprite 1. I've programmed the small robot to execute Spirolaterals.
