   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.

   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.

  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.

  18 The base is organized around 1in x 1in grid peg-board
  19 which is readily available from locations link Home

  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:
  27
  28 The basic robot would be built in three phases:

  30 ### Phase 0: Arduino + Blinky LED's:
  31 ### Phase 1: Build Robot Platform
  32 ### Phase 2: Build TableTop Challenge Phase 1
