At RobotsConf in Florida Ben was struggling to find a way to make his bot competitive. All the bots started as identical laser cut kits. Whatever to do? Hairspray! Well hairspray and a pilot light that is. The firebot was born. But it didn’t look the part… but that’s a story for another post.

But of course once we got back the Makerspace and our own laser… let’s just say there were some design changes.

And if you have fire and robots and dragons, of course you’re going to take it to the children’s science museum!
