About the Maker(s)

Bill Sherman Bill Sherman [
I am an electronics engineer who got involved in robot building soon after my son and daughter started entering Botball competitions at their school. Our whole family is deeply involved with science and education. I have always had an interest in science and making things. Robotics is an ideal way of blending science,programming, construction and electronics in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. Artbots are a way to extend these constructions without limits.
