9 | ## Introduction |
10 | ||
11 | For 2013, it is proposed that there be a "club bot". | |
12 | The goal is to learn from the 2011 "club bot" and | |
13 | improve upon it. | |
14 | ||
15 | Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that | |
16 | tend to strand people after they have the first | |
17 | few robot behaviors are implemented -- obstacle avoid, | |
18 | wall follow, line follow, don't fall off table, etc. | |
19 | ||
20 | One of the primary goals of the 2013 robot is to try | |
21 | to make it expandable from simple to more complex in | |
22 | reasonable incremental steps. | |
23 | ||
24 | The base is organized around 1in x 1in grid peg-board | |
25 | which is readily available from locations link Home | |
26 | Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores. | |
27 | ||
28 | There would be a variety of independent upgrades | |
29 | that could be done in whatever order the user | |
30 | feels inclined to use: | |
31 | ||
32 | ## Basic Platform: | |
33 | ||
34 | The basic robot would be built in three phases: | |
