# challenge-bot ## prerequisites install the following software: [openSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/downloads) [fritzing](http://fritzing.org/download/) [arduino ide](http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) ## quickstart [openSCAD tutorial](http://goo.gl/E3OQXc) [build the challenge-bot](http://goo.gl/XgB0xq) ## Introduction Most introductory robots are "dead-end" robots that tend to strand people after they have the first few robot behaviors implemented -- obstacle avoid, wall follow, stay on table, etc. One of the primary goals of the challenge-bot is to try to make it expandable from simple to more complex in reasonable incremental steps. The base is organized around 1-inch x 1-inch grid peg-board which is readily available from locations such as Home Depot, Lowes, and lumber stores.
