Anyone can help me to how I can build a fire fighting robot ?

What type of fire? Fuel source? Corrosive chemicals?

What extinguishing method/media? Water, Foam, Inert Gas, Chemical?

[skimask]

What type of drive?

Wheels, tracks, ion drive, magic?

And how big ? Robot competition or Real life Fire scenario?

I think this is the meaning of a "Firefighting Robot"?

Hi Darrel,
Yeah that is what I thought too, However The robot bomb disposal vehicle of a certain Police agency was built by a "hobbiest" out of a fork lift, so I figure, better not to assume.http://www.mikesphotos.us/gallery2/v/Action/Events/VNY-OPEN/LAPD/bomb/

Go over to the paralax web site and look at the bo-bot projects.
Some place there is complete basic stamp code for this. Look in the document section. You can do this using IR or what they call wiskers.
