Thank you @4tronix.co.uk So lovely to see you over on this platform. This stream you've posted has made me more than certain that I need to upgrade from your #BitBotXL I bought myself in 2023 to the #BitBotPRO Your #BitBotXL is still a great buggy for teaching 11-14 year olds introductory robotics.

Anyone working with BBC micro:bits - I'm really enjoying working with the robo:bit mk3 from @4tronix.co.uk.
So easy for students to use, enabling them to go from zero to seeing their code control a robot within an hour session!

Using BitBot PRO to draw polygons: Part 1
Because BitBot PRO can move and turn accurately, we can use it to draw geometric figures. Let's start with drawing a square. We first have to draw one side, then turn 90 degrees. Like this
