    Authors Acknowledgments

    Like the rest of the text in this book, I struggled over the content of this section. Albeit small, its outside the grasp of certain editorial axing techniques, and I find that as liberating as running naked through a large wheat field with scissors in hand. The smile you might see on my face is likely from strange sensations, not joy.

    The first person Id like to offer thanks to is actually a fictional person named Homer Price who, through the writing of Robert McCloskey, showed me early in life that a little boy with enough energy and imagination could make more donuts than anyone could ever eat. Yes, gears were involved, and that short story helped set mine in motion.

    Id also like to thank the editors, especially Melody, who endured the whining of a would-be writer in over his head in more ways than one. Susan and Nancy also deserve a special thank you and a gift certificate to Vegas for six months. I can probably arrange one of those items.

    Thanks are also due to my family, friends, and employees, who endured what seemed like decades of missing time, lost opportunities, and the senseless tossing of perfectly good computer monitors all while providing a much needed sounding board for issues that professional writers have learned to endure with a grin.

    Special thanks to Jim Brown for his writing, wit, and endurance. The secret robot builders handshake is in order.

    And thanks to Midi for his unwavering companionship, often expressed by spasmodic jumping, 40-mile-per-hour dashes to nowhere, and freshly dug holes large enough to shelter a riding lawnmower. He seemed unfazed by this whole process, and that is what I appreciate him for.

    And lastly, yet certainly firstly, to our Creator, who makes this all possible and provides all these opportunities for reasons Ill never fully understand.

    Introduction

    M aybe your first exposure to robots was in an unmemorable 1950s B movie titled something like Amazon Women on Mars. Maybe you played with remote-controlled cars as a kid and always loved having little mechanical things zipping around your house. Whatever the origin of your impulse, if you picked up this book you probably have the robot bug. The next logical step is to start building robots of your own.
