I have posted pics and info about my latest creation - FireBot (link below).  I received a new PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor from TechnoStuff and wanted to test it, so I thought what better way to do this than to build a fire extinguishing bot...   The goal was simple, build a bot that would detect and put out a fire (a candle flame in this case for safe measure).

I also did a review of the PIR sensor. Visit the review section for details.

On another note - I cant wait to get my hands on the NXT. I am a bit
dissappointed that they did not make things smaller, but I think this is a sign
that the focus for this set is more in the younger intermediate folks and not
the adults.  What I read into the info that is out so far is "expansion" and
"aftermarker parts" galore, which is exciting to think about the
possibilities...
