Random thought: if you've built a robot that can draw shapes, it might be interesting to have it draw spirographs; i.e., periodic functions plotted in polar coordinates, with angular periodicity based on ratios of prime numbers so they take many revolutions to repeat, and end up describing flower-like patterns. |
So smart, Richard. I didn't understand much of what you just said. I guess that's why I got a C in College Algebra... Applied Calculus, here I come!
That is interesting, though. I know that Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, IA has a robotics specific course, too. "Robotics and Automation" I think is what it's named.
