Welcome to roamer town.

Roamers are very busy in roamer town delivering pizza, ice cream, newspapers, mail, and children to their homes on the school bus.

Can you change digital time to analog time with roamer clock?

You must change roamer's degree of rotation to 30 degrees = 1 in order for roamer to act like a clock.

If we changed the numbers to roman numerals could you still program roamer to tell time?

What other things rotate that would be fun to play with roamer degrees? How about a compass, the planets, Earth, sun, a carousel? What else?

Roamer vehicles (school bus, fire engine, and delivery truck) are lined up at the roamer town.
