Inspired by the horrible bush fires in Australia, I went about creating FIRE - a remote device designed to fight fires. The highlight was seeing all the elements come together and testing the water cannons out with the fire hydrant.
In my spare time I'm into robotics, computing and gaming and I've been a Bright Sparks member since 2004 - I really enjoy being able to get help easily from other Bright Sparks members.
I'm unsure of my so called 'dream job' as yet, but I am interested in helping to incorporate robotics into everyday life. Although I'm into electronics I think the wheel has to be man kinds' greatest invention as it has changed the way we move and transport as well as travel the world!
wow i think this robot would be great. definatly like this. possibly profitable worldwide in all bush fires.
Innovative thinking - well done!
this is a awesome invention , Well Done Jethro and Team.
An outstanding effort from all in what is a brilliant idea!!! Congratulations to you and your team!
