Robot tip (Count the degrees): Full turn 360°, half turn 180°, right angle 90°. Heading: right adds, left takes away; keep it between 0° and 359° by adding or taking away 360. Equal turns in a full circle = 360 ÷ one turn; time to turn = angle ÷ degrees per second.

  2. 2.🧭 A robot spins 60° every second. How many seconds does it take to turn 360°?
  3. 3.🧭 A robot’s gyro reads 0° when it faces north and counts up to 359° as it turns right (east is 90°). It starts at 0°. It turns right 135°, then right 45°. What does the gyro read now (0° to 359°)?
