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?
What type of drive?
Wheels, tracks, ion drive, magic?
How much HELP do you want? :rolleyes:
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...PEN/LAPD/bomb/
Fire fighting robot? that is a great invention....

good luck
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.
Keep doing great iugmoh, One thing I wanted to know...What actually you do with this FireFighting Robot? Any new experiments?
