ABSTRACT
Before proceeding to the more sophisticated Rug Warrior de scribed in the next several chapters, we will begin here by construct ing TuteBot-a robot which is simple yet complete. Do not under estimate the elegance of simplicity, however. It is often the simplest solution which takes the longest to comprehend, and yet it is also often the simplest solution which illustrates the main lessons with the most clarity. Experienced designers of robotics and automation systems agree that the first way they design something is usually the most complex way. Difficulty usually arises when trying to simplify the system.
