5-Lobed Rose

A 5-lobed rose pattern created by keeping one motor at a constant speed while the speed of the other varies as a sine wave. The RGB LED is driven by another program I wrote running on a separate MCU and powered separately. The whole RGB assembly is simply riding atop the robot. Exposure is probably in the neighborhood of 20 seconds.
