# HBRC 2013 Challenge Robot ## quickstart serial pushbutton ## Introduction For 2013, it is proposed that there be a "club bot". The goal is to learn from the 2011 "club bot" and improve upon it. Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that tend to strand people after they have the first few robot behaviors are implemented -- obstacle avoid, wall follow, line follow, don't fall off table, etc. One of the primary goals of the 2013 robot is to try to make it expandable from simple to more complex in reasonable incremental steps. The base is organized around 1in x 1in grid peg-board which is readily available from locations link Home Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores. There would be a variety of independent upgrades that could be done in whatever order the user feels inclined to use: ## Basic Platform: The basic robot would be built in three phases: ### Phase 0: Arduino + Blinky LED's: ### Phase 1: Build Robot Platform ### Phase 2: Build TableTop Challenge Phase 1
