| 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. | |
