About the Author
Tod E. Kurt has engineered hardware and software for robotic camera systems that went to Mars. Although he has degrees in electrical engineering and physics, Tod′s career as a robotics hacker really began when he took apart his BigTrak, radio–controlled car, and chemistry set box to build an upright programmable robot when he was 12.
