Author Information

William Gurstelle is the author of Adventures from the Technology Underground, Backyard Ballistics, Building Bots, and The Art of the Catapult. The number of hours he s spent crafting fighting robots and catapults instead of working at, say, his normal job (as an engineer) is, in Bill s own words scary to contemplate, but it serves a purpose. When not building devices that make stuff go whoosh, boom, and splat, Bill is a contributing editor at Make magazine and writes frequently for Wired, The Rake, and several other national magazines. He lives in Minneapolis.
