11 | ## Introduction |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | For 2013, it is proposed that there be a "club bot". | |
| 14 | The goal is to learn from the 2011 "club bot" and | |
| 15 | improve upon it. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that | |
| 18 | tend to strand people after they have the first | |
| 19 | few robot behaviors are implemented -- obstacle avoid, | |
| 20 | wall follow, line follow, don't fall off table, etc. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | One of the primary goals of the 2013 robot is to try | |
| 23 | to make it expandable from simple to more complex in | |
| 24 | reasonable incremental steps. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | The base is organized around 1in x 1in grid peg-board | |
| 27 | which is readily available from locations link Home | |
| 28 | Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | There would be a variety of independent upgrades | |
| 31 | that could be done in whatever order the user | |
| 32 | feels inclined to use: | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | ## Basic Platform: | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | The basic robot would be built in three phases: | |
