What is this workshop about?

Fire fighting robots also known as vision guided robots, are capable of detecting the fire and extinguishing it. Through this hands-on workshop, you will learn to build your very own fire fighting robot that uses digital IR sensors to detect the fire and move in that direction to put it off using a DC fan. To ease the programming learning experience, the course is also equipped with scratch based block programming modules that make programming the robot super easy even for beginners.
