Summary: In the Trinity College International Robot Firefighting Contest, competitors design and create an autonomous robot from elementary components. To succeed in the competition, the robot must navigate a maze to locate and extinguish a flame. Designing the robot requires elements of mechanical, electrical and software design as well as teamwork.
