The goal of this class is to teach you the + basics of robotics, get you excited about making stuff, and empower you + to go out and create new robotics projects on your own after the class. + +## Team + +### Daniel Watson + +danny + +Daniel simulated a self driving car in a massive online class a few + years ago. Since then he has worked towards making this happen in the + real world. Along the way, he has learned a great deal about + electronics, and mechanics. He now has a very solid understanding of + a very basic robot. + +He rock climbs, and makes robots. + +### Erin Bennett + +erin + +Erin learned to program in a Linguistics class, where she explored text + corpora and drew pictures of finite state machines. A few years later + while programming a remote-controlled robot, she implemented her first + finite state machine. She was so happy, she made up a song about it. + +She enjoys spending her time juggling, sleeping, drawing, designing + webpages, putting together robots, and making computational models of + cognition and language. + +## Contact Us + +For more information or to sign up for classes, contact + [Daniel Watson](ozzloy@gmail.com).
