SPECIAL CONTRIBUTORS
Chuck Schoeffler, Ph.D., authored portions of the v1.2 text in conjunction with Parallax,
Inc. At that time, Dr. Schoeffler was a professor at University of Idaho's Industrial
Technology Education department. He designed the original Board of Education Robot
(Boe-Bot) shown in Figure P-2 along with similar robot derivatives with many unique
functions. After several revisions, Chuck's design was adopted as the basis of the
Parallax Boe-Bot that is used in this text. Russ Miller of Parallax designed the Boe-Bot
based on this prototype.
