Youtube for "Supersoaker flame thrower"  I found a very similar thing except it was a supersoaker taped to a RC car to burn stuff, they brought it over to manually pump it up but then drove it away to light it in case it exploded!

This is actually about a year old, the video at least. Really cool nevertheless. :)

awe man, poor little toaster...it was much cooler than the other robot!  ...alas, its days ended when it decided to light its self on fire  :D    How would you like your toast: regular or burnt-to-a-crispt toasted?

ha, nice toaster... flame throwers aren't too effective against robots are they?

It would ultimately depend on how hot you can get the other robots microcontroller, and how protected the other robot it right?

i helped my friend with the mecanics and putting the chassi of the robot together and  i went and was the pit crew when it got smashed up

but as it was so expensive for my friend i have not gone since, and my friend moved to melborne as he is studying electrotechnical enginering and draughting i think it was at melborne uni
