+
+## 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.
