flat on table

normal result
x = 36, y = -18, t = 0.352416 pi
x = 36, y = -36, t = 0.250000 pi
x = 36, y = -36, t = 0.250000 pi
x = 36, y = -18, t = 0.352416 pi
x = 36, y = -36, t = 0.250000 pi
x = 18, y = -36, t = 0.147584 pi
x = 36, y = -36, t = 0.250000 pi
x = 36, y = -18, t = 0.352416 pi
x = 36, y = -18, t = 0.352416 pi
x = 36, y = -36, t = 0.250000 pi

abnormal:
