Create a Hexagon with a Robot Using a Loop
Problem Statement:
The pre-placed blocks will drive the robot forward 10 units to trace the first edge of the hexagon. Then, turn right the robot 60-degrees. Repeat these two actions to drive the robot around the outline of the hexagon. 
#include <linkbot.h> 
CLinkbotI robot; 
double radius = 1.75; 
double trackwidth = 3.69; 
int count;  

count = 0; 
while(count < 6) {   
    robot.driveDistance(10, radius);   
    robot.turnRight(60, radius, trackwidth);   
    count = count + 1; 
}
