Sphero relative blocks about coding-with-chrome HOT 6 CLOSED

Sphero is designed to be absolute, so even it would help in some cases its not really feasible because its not supported by the hardware itself.

So it would be only virtual and would cause sooner or later an mismatch between the real position and the virtual position.

Is there at least some way to programmatically modify the direction? Meaning doing something like a few blocks like move to direction , and then doing some math with the direction?

it would be good to be able to make a loop where the direction depends on a variable.

Could you please provide some example code or an example task for this ?

At the moment I see no real use case where the absolute position can't be used.

How would you draw (drive) a cube (or pentagram) a repeat block? Of course
you could spell out all the angles, but it would get silly very quick.

EV3: repeat 4 times, drive 200, turn 90, drive 200
Sphero: ? I tried count with i from 0 to 360 by 90 but couldn't put 'i'
into the "roll for x seconds with speed and heading" block.

Please check the examples of http://www.sphero.com/education which covering such use cases.

I will maybe translate some of them, but again I don't see any need for such a function.

Looking at the Spin function in SpheroEDU, reading the heading would be great o implement this.
It seems inconsistent that there is a setHeading function but not a readHeading (or changeHeadingBy)
