Front Range Robotics Club is holding a robot firefighting contest on March 8, 2008 at the Discovery Science Center in Fort Collins, CO from 11AM-2PM. Looks like this is going to be a blast!

Despite having no time, I decided what the heck, why not enter, so I am in the middle of building my very first from-scratch robot, a prototype platform.

I am also applying Systems Engineering methodologies to the development of my firefighter to address major challenges of time, budget, and complexity.
