# challenge-bot

## prerequisites

install the following software:

[openSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/downloads)

[fritzing](http://fritzing.org/download/)

[arduino ide](http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)

## quickstart

[openSCAD tutorial](http://goo.gl/E3OQXc)

[build the challenge-bot](http://goo.gl/XgB0xq)

## Introduction

Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that
tend to strand people after they have the first
few robot behaviors implemented -- obstacle avoid,
wall follow, stay on table, etc.

One of the primary goals of the challenge-bot is to try
to make it expandable from simple to more complex in
reasonable incremental steps.

The base is organized around 1-inch x 1-inch grid peg-board
which is readily available from locations such as Home
Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores.
