Good point. You can also replace those four remaining lines with
#local i=1; #while (i<=2)
[i/3 hexBlock translate vrotate(x,(120*i-60)*y)]
[i/3 hexBlock translate vrotate(x,(120*i+60)*y)]
#local i=i+1; #end
The only advantage to this is that it might make the .5's and sqrt(3)'s a
little less cryptic and/or intimidating.

and the symmetries become more apparent.
