Regular Polygons and Circles

Fine-tuning your ActivityBot's motion can be tricky, especially when you want your robot to make shapes like triangles, circles, hexagons, etc, as it drives.  Fortunately, Parallax-friend and teacher Nikos Giannakopoulos has provided this series of ActivityBot-based tutorials that'll get your robot moving in circles (or squares, or maybe pentagons) with just a few basic library commands and some simple trigonometry. 

Although some math is a necessary part of these tutorials, there are plenty of graphics and pre-written code examples so that anyone can work through and enjoy them, regardless of experience level.
