7 | ## What is challenge-bot? | |
8 | ||
9 | The [challenge-bot](http://goo.gl/fHGKyO) course is an 8-hour long | |
10 | course where we walk you through the process of building your own | |
11 | robot, which you will keep. The goal of this class is to teach you the | |
12 | basics of robotics, get you excited about making stuff, and empower you | |
13 | to go out and create new robotics projects on your own after the class. | |

21 | Daniel simulated a self driving car in a massive online class a few | |
22 | years ago. Since then he has worked towards making this happen in the | |
23 | real world. Along the way, he has learned a great deal about | |
24 | electronics, and mechanics. He now has a very solid understanding of | |
25 | a very basic robot. | |
26 | ||
27 | He rock climbs, and makes robots. | |

33 | Erin learned to program in a Linguistics class, where she explored text | |
34 | corpora and drew pictures of finite state machines. A few years later | |
35 | while programming a remote-controlled robot, she implemented her first | |
36 | finite state machine. She was so happy, she made up a song about it. | |
37 | ||
38 | She enjoys spending her time juggling, sleeping, drawing, designing | |
39 | webpages, putting together robots, and making computational models of | |
40 | cognition and language. | |
