  * Each wing is 9 cms high and 3 cms wide
  * The body is 5 cms high and 4 cms wide
  * The neck is 1 cm long
  * Each side of the head is 2 cms

There are multiple ways this can be achieved with the Pro-Bot and the code below is only one way.

Starting at the top left corner of the left wing and facing right, the following code can be used:
