Exercise 10 - Draw a Robot

You are going to build a program that draws a robot.

Here are the drawing commands you will use:

Method	Description
goto(x, y)	Go to a specific spot on the canvas.
pensize(thickness)	Set the size of the pen outline.
pencolor("color")	Set the color of the pen.
penup()	Pick up the pen to stop drawing a line.
pendown()	Put down the pen to start drawing a line.
fillcolor ("color")	Set the fill color of a stamp.
begin_fill()	Let the computer know you are making a shape to fill.
end_fill()	Fill the completed shape with a fill color.
setheading(direction)	Set the direction the Turtle faces. 0 is right, 180 is left, 90 is up, 270 is down.
circle(size)	Draw a circle that is a specific size.
dot()	Add a filled circle to the canvas.
stamp ()	Put a mark of the Turtle symbol on the canvas.

Study the plan of what you will be making:

Here are some steps to help you:

• Open Thonny, create a new file and save it as robot.
• Import the Turtle library. Set the screen size and speed.
• Draw a line to make an antenna.
• Pick the pen up and put it down to draw a rectangle for the head.

• Create a triangle body and fill it with color.

  • Pick a fill color for the body, for example fillcolor(“steelblue”).
  • You must tell the computer what you want to fill. begin_fill() goes before the start of the shape and end_fill() goes after the last shape instruction.

• Control the direction to make a circle using setheading()

• Add a dot to the top of the antenna.
• Draw a face using stamps.
