Hi I was reading a robotics page that mentioned a robotics fire fightin=
g competion this competition. I thought that maybe we could run a competiti=
on to see whose beambot could put out a candle the quickest. A simple idea =
is a robot with heat detection that then simply turns on a fan or something=
of the sort when it finds the candle.
