A robot starts at the origin facing the positive xx-axis. It walks 11 unit, turns 30∘30^\circ to the left, walks 22 units, turns 30∘30^\circ to the left, walks 33 units, and so on: on the kkth walk it covers kk units, and it turns 30∘30^\circ left after each walk. After its 1212th walk (of 1212 units) it stops. How far is it from the origin?
