21## Introduction
22
23Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that
24tend to strand people after they have the first
25few robot behaviors are implemented -- obstacle avoid,
26wall follow, line follow, don't fall off table, etc.
27
28One of the primary goals of the challenge-bot is to try
29to make it expandable from simple to more complex in
30reasonable incremental steps.

32The base is organized around 1-inch x 1-inch grid peg-board
33which is readily available from locations such as Home
34Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores.
