1 | # HBRC 2013 Challenge Robot |
2 | ||
3 | ## Introduction | |
4 | ||
5 | For 2013, it is proposed that there be a "club bot". | |
6 | The goal is to learn from the 2011 "club bot" and | |
7 | improve upon it. | |
8 | ||
9 | Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that | |
10 | tend to strand people after they have the first | |
11 | few robot behaviors are implemented -- obstacle avoid, | |
12 | wall follow, line follow, don't fall off table, etc. | |
13 | ||
14 | One of the primary goals of the 2013 robot is to try | |
15 | to make it expandable from simple to more complex in | |
16 | reasonable incremental steps. | |
17 | ||
18 | The base is organized around 1in x 1in grid peg-board | |
19 | which is readily available from locations link Home | |
20 | Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores. | |
21 | ||
22 | There would be a variety of independent upgrades | |
23 | that could be done in whatever order the user | |
24 | feels inclined to use: | |

26 | ## Basic Platform: | |

28 | The basic robot would be built in three phases: | |
