Why 1 instead of 0? If you argue that the first turtle is t1, 
I think the first turtle should be t0.

I like these behaviours:

dotimes [i 12] [show remainder :i 4]
0
1
2
3
0
1
2
3
0
1
2
3

dotimes [i 12] [show remainder :i 2]
0
1
0
1
0
1
0
1
0
1
0
1


cg dotimes [i 30] [
 ifelse 0 = remainder :i 2 [pu] [pd] 
 setpos list (20 * int :i / 2) (100 - 200 * remainder :i 2)
]
