Learning Math/CS/Engineering Design with Robotics
Animate Ball Throw Using Sin( )
|
For this activity, you will need to change the x-position values of each shape that are shown as 0 using sine functions and the variable "Cycle", to create an animation of a person throwing a ball after 1 and a half rotations.

The pre-placed blocks will display shapes representing a person facing forward with a ball, and after repeating some actions, will display a person throwing a ball. Replace x-position values of each shape using sin() and the variable “Cycle” so that the person will make 1 and a half rotations before throwing the ball. |
