Root Robot (Level 1)

Code the Alphabet

---

Background

This week you will use your new Root robot coding skills to code letters.  You will use a special algorithm to draw a letter. Here is the algorithm for the letter L:

The green circle is the first move and the red circle is the last move.

1. Make sure the first block is the pen-down block.
2. Turn -90-degrees (counter-clockwise).
3. Move forward 8cm.
4. Turn 90-degrees clockwise.
5. Move forward 16cm.
6. Move forward 4cm.
