Well, I built the Artbot and loaded the sample software. The intended goal is to first draw the
three leaf pattern and then follow it (line following) in the next several iterations drawing
another line inside the last one. I suspect that the solution is not so much following the last line
as it is changing a parameter and redrawing the curve. I'd find it hard to believe it's done by pure
line following, since that would likely at least require a differential to keep things smooth. I can
see where the smaller inside re-draw could be helped by locating the last line drawn with the light
sensor. Once found some adjustment might be made in the center point of the figure (parameter). For
example, suppose the figure was a circle. Changing the diameter (a parameter) of the circle would do
the trick.

Crop circles? Why not snow and sand circles? Are aliens just lazy?
