Polygon rotation

Hi everyone.

How can I rotate a series of shapes around a moveable central polygon? In the attached definition, I made a first test with a fixed central polygon. To develop it further, I also want the central polygon to rotate. I also attached a sequence of rendered images from rhino of how it should behave

Probably the answer is simpler than I think, but I haven't been able to find a solution...

Ehy Hannes, thanks for your reply.

My English misled you! ;) What I meant was to have the central polygon to move upwards and the polygons built on each of its side will close on it, Maybe 'rotation' wasn't the right word! In the attache picture I just used a sequence of rendered images from Rhino but I want to achieve that on GH....

Do you want this simulated or animated? With thedefinition riyou have now, animation is just a mattter of how do synchronize the individual sliders.

It's more of a simulation for my project. I'm working on a wind responsive structure. I actually managed to make it work as I wanted and your last definition helped me. I'm just starting now with GH so I still do not know the components and their potential! I was driving myself mad in listing items continuously.... ;)

Thanks a lot Hannes.
