Guy Fawkes robot
However, lately there has been development of more specialised and autonomous EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) robots that do risky operations that human beings don't need to risk their lives for. I always wanted to design a robot that did something that is too risky for humans – and thus potentially save lives.
So early this month when we had Guy Fawkes night, I decided to use a robot based on my MINDSTORMS NXT to light our fireworks. There has been a lot of concern lately about fireworks maiming and injuring the person igniting it and a few cases of fatalities. So I thought it would be a good idea.
This autonomous NXT robot will light multiple fireworks in a sequence - while the family sits back and watch the display! The robot is incredibly simple - It uses a MINDSTORMS NXT, two light sensors (one for navigation and other to detect a lighted fuse) and an Ultrasonic detector (to detect the top of the fireworks (and hence the height of the fireworks fuse wire) so it can adjust the torch arm height depending on the position of the fuse. It uses three motors - two for motion and the third for the torch arm elevator. For the wheel base we used a simple motor driven wheels + casters based on JennToo designed by fellow NXT Step contributor, Brian Davis, but with a few modifications.
Warning: Working with fireworks is dangerous. Please exercise extreme caution.

1. Excellent use of the great song, "Firestarter" in a video
2. Seeing the words "explosives" and "bomb disposal" in the keywords for the same blog posting made my day.
3. Your next challenge - program the robot to use a fire extinguisher

Ha - I forget that my profile has both blogs listed. I try to keep my project separate...
Yes, the priming is done... painting will happen this weekend. Because it'll require numerous coats, I don't expect to finish the painting until the following weekend.
Brent - I'm hoping to have it finished and working by Feb/March but I have a wife and a baby so I've learned not to set hard dates ;)
As for the theme - maybe my next one will have a robot theme but for now, I wanted to go with a 1950's style flying saucer theme.

Seriously, this one contraption could save many hundreds (if not a few more) visits to the hospital during our Independence Day celebrations here in the States!
But sadly...the cost are all those crispy NXTs sent home smoking.
Won't somebody think of the NXTs?!?!

As much as I love NXT robots and good designs, I have to say I am very disappointed this has been posted on this website. I have seen a skyrocket get knocked over, fire and explode into a person and it's unbelievably horrible. I think it's irresponsible to encourage any use of NXT that has the potential to cause such pain.
- Dec 1, 2007, 1:26:00 AM
Sometimes NXT STEP people, you just can't win, can ya? I felt the same way about the Green thing posted the other day - very offensive. If this were left on the grass, someone might not see it and fall and hurt themself. Consider changing the wheels to red or yellow. Oh forget it. Just shut down the blog before lawsuits begin.
(Paul - get a grip. The purpose of the robot was to remove the danger to someone lighting a firework. Did you actually watch the videO?)

I can certainly understand your position. As someone who once had a firecracker blow up in his hand, I'm not a huge fan of fireworks these days.
I don't believe the creator of this robot meant to encourage haphazard playing with fireworks... if anything, I think he meant to actually create something that would serve a real purpose for either himself or a child.
Kids are going to play with fireworks - we can't change that. But the post/video does mention that the reason for creating the robot was to remove the danger to the person lighting the firework.
With over 25 contributors here, we still try to edit our posts and comments to keep with our friendliness to the younger audience but we also try to avoid overt censorship. There are plenty of robots that have been posted on this blog (the Packbot, for example, used in Iraq/Afghanistan) that are used in decidedly unfriendly situations but this doesn't mean that we shouldn't write about them.
I'm sorry that this post has bothered you - rest assured, this time next week it'll be pushed down the page and there'll be something new to talk about. Your opinion is valid and I'm sure others will agree with your position - thanks for commenting.

I'm sorry guys, but if you think this in-any-way improves safety we're on a different planet. Why do you think you can't buy a "real" one of these? Besides, if I said I made a NXT robot to control an elevator, a car or a gun to "improve safety", does that mean it does? If we're talking about toy elevators, cars, or guns, that might be a reasonable intent. But if they're real things its a no brainer.
Sure - the robot is "fun", as are the fireworks, but that's not the point. When things are posted here, people, including kids will try to make them. Would you want a ten year old debugging their attempt at this robot?

YOu know, when I was 13 someone told my parents that playing D&D was goign to make me a bad person. Then someone told my parents that my videogames were going to make me go on a shooting rampage at the mall. My parents were smart enough to give me some credit. I don't think posting a video of a robot lighting fireworks is going to overly influence kids to go and do this. But then again, I have smart kids, not dumb ones. Someone told me that it's no longer survival of the fittest but survival of the smartest.

Hi Paul and others,
I am the creator of the above mentioned robot (and video), and I thought I would take the time to respond to your points:
- I think it is healthy that posts like this invoke healthy debate – about social issues beyond NXT robotics. Paul, you are entitled to your opinion and views – and I respect that - and thank you for sharing it.
- However, As a parent of four children (including two teenage boys), I balance being responsible parents with having fun in life. And like I said in response to another commentator on YouTube - I rather have a blown up NXT than one of my family members losing a limb.
- In most countries sale of fireworks to the public is prohibited. However, it is not where I live. I hope children and adults behave responsibly around fireworks, so we continue to enjoy them for years to come.
- I have to agree with some of the points Jim and R.K. made in defence of video. I post a video of a robot that cleans up insects in pools - and people cry danger. I post a video of a robot interacting with our pet rabbits - and people cry cruelty... I post a video of my family having fun with NXT and fireworks - and people cry irresponsible. I think (with no disrespect to you Paul), people should relax and stop taking life so seriously.

First off, the design of your robot is excellent (as always) and you've documented it well. I commend you for this. I've enjoyed everything else you've published and look forward to more.
However, the point I am raising is not about fireworks or social issues to do with them. Having lived in NZ for over 20 years, I am well aware of the fun that's had at guy fawkes. I have no problem with fireworks or responsible people using them. I think it will be a shame when they are banned in NZ. (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=280&objectid=10474474)
My issue is with respected members of the NXT community encouraging the NXT to automate a potentially life threatening task, then saying it's in the name of "safety". Do you think that's being too serious? Are fireworks life threatening? I think they are. In NZ, I have witnessed a skyrocket, placed by a responsible adult, accidentally fall over, launch into a family inside a house and explode into a person. This has a devastating affect on all involved. To me, that's worth being serious about.
I've worked on industrial control software and hardware for life threatening applications and feel I'm qualified to ask you some questions about your design -
- What happens when your robot accidentally knocks over a firework? What does it do then?
- what's your fail safe if all goes wrong? Does the robot swamp the fireworks with water? Throw sand on it?
- How have you ensured your code or hardware won't fail? Does it have unit tests to ensure it always does what you think it will in every case?
- When you melt your controller and it malfunctions, what stops it lighting other fireworks?
Do you think a child might even consider some of these scenarios? Apparently there are some super smart kids out there. These don't even start to address safety aspects that would be required for a real world application. But hold on, these are real world fireworks.
You may think your application encourages safety but I totally disagree. You may also feel that you're protecting your family and that's your choice. If you choose to publish something like this, I feel it would be irresponsible not to comment.
I'm sorry if you feel I'm taking this too seriously. There are some things I never want to see again.
- Dec 3, 2007, 1:35:00 AM
Thank you Paul for your response and explaining to the readers where you are coming from.
I have left your comments unedited under my post - so anyone reading the original post can read these comments in the full context and consider the valuable points you have made.

These British Columbia hunts are in one of the best Mountain Lion Hunting areas in Canada. This hunt takes place in an exclusive outfitter territory that is made up of 1.6 million acres of prime mountain lion trophy hunting habitat in beautiful British Columbia.
* This British Columbia Outfitter is fluent in German and has special packages available for European hunters.
Please contact Outdoors International to discuss hunt specifics, dates, and to arrange this special hunt of a lifetime.
The reason to go to BC to take your cougar is because they are the biggest in the world. Due to their northern proximity and severe winters these cats have evolved to with larger body sizes to survive. BC is the place to go to kill a Boone and Crockett mountain lion.
This British Columbia Outfitter has an excellent mountain lion hunting area with a high density of lions. Their well trained hounds love mountain lion hunting and they try to limit their take to mature toms. When hunting these predators, they generally use a truck and/or snowmobiles to locate a fresh track, and then release the hounds.
Naturally, with such a good population of ungulates, there are high numbers of mountain lion, lynx, and wolf. They usually have no shortage of fresh snow on these hunts, which can be a concern for mountain lion hunting in the Lower 48. Snow is a true blessing for the mountain lion hunter, as it helps in quickly sorting out which trails are hot. Some of these cats will travel a significant distance, so it is important to be in great shape before embarking one of these hunts.
*Ask us about adding a lynx to this hunt.
Talk to a Consultant about British Columbia Mountain Lion Hunts »
If you have never hunted using Hounds, this could be just the thing to round out your hunting experience. A hot track, Hounds baying, the elusive predator somewhere up ahead. The excitement is definitely in the chase!

The hotel staffs should learn how to orientate guests with the facilities provided. On the day of arrival on 2/10/2012, at approx 12noon Thai time, we were greeted by the smiling staffs with refreshing welcome mocktail. Since it is only 12noon, we headed to our room, getting ready for late lunch and shopping at about 4pm. We went to ask about car rental since the hotel is tucked away from town. Only then, the hotel staffs started to tell us about free shuttle van service. It takes turn to Chaweng, Lamai, Nathon & (another location), daily at 2pm. We were surprised that it was not brought to our attention as we arrived at the hotel. We would have rushed for the free ride. Since we have missed it, we paid THB700 to Lamai. It also didnt cross our mind to ask where s the shuttle van s pickup point at Lamai, as it turned midnite at Lamai anyways, we paid another THB800 back to the hotel. Second day comes, we boarded the free ride to Chaweng at 2pm. As we arrived at destination, we double checked with the driver on the picked up time whether it is 8pm. He confirmed YES. We spent time until 7.45pm and bought McDonalds (cost us about THB300!)back for dinner but came to realise the van is nowhere to be seen at the pickup point. We waited till about 9pm and called the hotel. They were not helpful and the communication was bad. We cant understand their English at all! Frustrated and tired, we asked for cab fare reimbursement since it was their driver s mistake in confirming the wrong pickup time with us. The hotel staff insist that they will not reimburse the cab fare and will not arrange for a (cheaper rate) cab to pick us up. They simply said the pickup time is clearly stated on the schedule at the hotel and there are alot of cabs in Chaweng. You can take any . We ended up spending THB900 since the hotel is such faroff town. We were very angry but we let it go since there is not point arguing with the staffs who do not understand English well. We demand for some sort of a compensation as we are really dissatisfied with the treatment! Also, we air polution is very bad at around the hotel as there were open fire burning at around coconut trees surrounding the hotel. Supposedly enjoying fresh air away from town, we ended up inhaling toxicated air daily!!

We had a really good time at the coconut. Our pool access room was great, so was the very long pool. We were looking for a calm place and that was just perfect. A vehicule is required though to move around a bit. Prices for cars at the resort were ok, scooters prices were however much higher than what can be found in town. The breakfast buffet was just nice, the food for lunch and dinner was ok, but could be better. The staff was very kind and always smiling, we appreciated that very much. We would easily recommend this resort and stay there again.

А nice hotel with beautiful modern rooms and the 2 comfortable swimming pools, which completely substituted swimming in the sea. Too low water and too many plants under feet in the sea near the hotel. There were not many people in the hotel. It is a good choice for a calm family vacation. The restaraunt is ok although the prices are too high for this quality. The hotel is located too far from everything, including other restaraunts and shops. The offered taxi is too expensive. It is hard to rent a car in the hotel.

Perfect resort to escape the trouble of daily life. Activities outside resort are limited to bus transfer to other beaches. Rooms were clean and the kindness of the staff was outstanding. Our kids enjoyed the pool and beach. Quality of food in hotel was very good, howeever more expensive than in restaurants in Chaweng beach. But overall quite ok. The Family mart convenience store is located 1-2 km walking distance from hotel (they tried to overcharge me 2x). Watch them scanning your purchases!
Reservation service:
Very reliable, safe payment scheme and excellent communication by e-mail. Would definitely book next Thai vacation via Sawadee again. The bus shuttle to/from airport was on time and with 700 THB a bit cheaper than other 3rd party transportation.

If you're a Facebook (FB) user, there's a good chance you got an email over the last 48 hours with the subject: "Re: LEGAL NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION." It's not of the Nigerian riches variety. For one, it's only offering you up to $10. For another, it's legit.
The email stems from a lawsuit we've been covering exhaustively here at the Not-So Private Parts. "Fraley vs. Facebook" stems from Facebook's decision in 2011 to put users in "Sponsored Story" ads based on things that they had "Liked." The ads didn't always reflect the context in which someone "Liked" something, as the dude who famously wound up promoting a 55-gallon drum of sexual lubricant last Valentine's Day can attest, and there was no way of opting out (beyond not Liking anything).
Within three months of the announcement, an enterprising group of plaintiffs led by seamstress Angel Fraley sued Facebook in California saying the company had violated the law by using their names and likenesses in ads without their permission and without paying them. (Lead plaintiff Fraley later dropped out of the suit citing Facebook lawyers' aggressive tactics, which basically consisted of digging up embarrassing material about her from her Facebook account.)
Facebook and the plaintiffs settled the suit in December to the tune of $20 million. That $20 million is covering the class action lawyers' fees; the rest is potentially going to be divvied up among Facebook users who appeared in Sponsored Stories ads — which is why you got that legal notice inviting you to claim your up-to-$10 share — or, if the demand is too great, the money will instead go to a bunch of non-profits that work on privacy issues. If the amount of money divided by the number of claimants comes out to less than $4.99 each, the money goes to the non-profits.

Johny has been pretty misinformed when it comes to the testing and what VADA, WADA is and how the athletic commission is involved.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
You know...I've always wondered how guys that wear glasses normally, fight so well without them. Seems like it would be dangerous to wear contacts so I wonder what they do. I know, I know not on topic but seeing that picture made me think of it.
I hope this fight is great, I really hope Georges wins esp since I still am of the mind that Condit beat Hendricks.

RRR=the Rhonda Rousey Resistance
classic - "this is the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. thats like me having a picture of Hitler posted, and saying "I dont believe in his politics, but I like to hear him talk" W.Silva>C.Norris
Unless he chokes, I think Hendricks wins by TKO in the first or second; and I think GSP retires, regardless of the fight's outcome.
This fight really depends on Hendricks ability to touch gsp's chin early imo. Anybody know what the odds are for the fight?
So before all this testing controversy I would have never thought twice about Hendricks being on roads but now.. I have my suspicions.
From what I gather the story goes like this. Hendricks accuses gsp of taking steroids, asks gsp to do additional testing, gsp agrees to do Vada Olympic style testing.
Hendricks backs out saying Vada is in gsp pocket. Hendricks then says they should do wada testing not vada, which makes no sense because wada doesn't do testing they just provide the testing guidelines for companies like Vada.
Gsp agrees to any testing wada vada or NASA, and johnny just backs out of any additional testing at that point.
That itself would make anyone a little suspicious but it wasn't even that which made me wonder..
It was actually the way johnny has been saying things that makes me more suspicious. If you know about psychology you will understand.
Examples. Johnny says things like "nobody has accused me of doing steroids", "I've never been busted, right?" and something to the effect of "I'm in great shape, but when I come to fight I don't have a six pack, you can see my fat" its like he's insinuating you can't be fat and take steroids which we all know is a load of crap and so does he. Look at Barnett.
I Just find his choice of words a little sketchy..

Sorry, I am a third generation Indian and 2nd gen Polish American. I have never visited India or Australia, that being said I have heard my neighbors says it is a racist and deeply divided country. I have never heard, how you guys about care about aboriginal saying positives stuff.
sorry, I don't have first hand knowledge of your country. If isn't true, then I am extremely sorry.

Car laws? I don't know what these are, I know the luxury car tax is one thing, but I don't understand what else is a problem.
Posted 01 February 2012 - 07:42
Quite a number of things in my personal opinion. Your crazy licensing scheme (Like no turbocharged cars with a P license... honestly, modern cars aren't necessarily turboed to be even fast), you can't own radar detectors and laser jammers, etc. Actually with the 9 demerits and ~$1000 fine JUST FOR OWNING A RADAR DETECTOR (With your detector consificated, of course) is quite literally some of the most ridiculous laws I've ever heard. I can pretty much do a burnout in a school zone and speed 20km/h over and get caught and still be charged with less.
Meanwhille in 48 states in the US and 3 western provinces in Canada, owning these things are, funny to say, perfectly legal. And we don't have more accidents compared to Australia.

Your crazy licensing scheme (Like no turbocharged cars with a P license... honestly, modern cars aren't necessarily turboed to be even fast),
I don't know what state you base your laws on, but it's similar in QLD.
1. P platers can't drive. Simple. Don't give them turbos or V8's until they have learnt to drive. That's common sense, even if 4 and 6's can reach higher speeds.

Australia is not in drought anymore. When we were in drought it did not have an effect on our everyday lives in capital cities, only water restrictions like not being able to water your lawn every day or wash your car with a hose using the city's water supply (use a bucket instead). Food prices were not that bad. The only the problem was when the price of bananas went through the roof, but that was because of a tropical cyclone not because of drought.
I know Australia has droughts to deal with

That is not true -- it is conditional and usually quite leanient for P plate drivers with a decent record.
I am on P-plate based license and own and drive a turbocharged Cruze 2011, which also has performance-enhancement modifications. The NSW government gave me approval in 48 hours.
I love generalisations... I could talk about how dreadful every single car mechanic is in Queensland, because not a single car on the road in QLD has a working set of indicators.

The Christmas Show
"The Christmas Show", also known as "Jingle Bells" or "The Lost Episode," was filmed on November 22, 1956 and originally aired on television on December 24, 1956.
This unique show featured flashbacks to scenes from favorite previous shows interspersed with new footage. It's Christmas Eve at the Ricardo apartment and Little Ricky, dressed for bed, grills his parents about how Santa works. Finally satisfied that his presents will be delivered, he goes off to bed. The Mertzes soon arrive with a beautiful tree. As the friends trim the tree, they reminisce about their times together. They remember when Lucy told Ricky she was pregnant ("Lucy is Enceinte™"), singing in a barbershop quartet ("Lucy's Show Biz Swan Song"), and the night Ricky was born ("Lucy Goes to the Hospital"). The next morning, the four adults are up early. Meeting up in the living room, they realize that they had all dressed as Santa. Not wanting to disillusion the boy, they run to hide in the kitchen where a fifth Santa joins them. Hesitantly, they pull the white beards off each other to reveal Ethel, Lucy, Fred, Ricky… They pull the last beard, whose wearer replies "ouch!" As the "real" Santa disappears before them, the amazed quartet turn to the audience and say, "Merry Christmas, everybody!"

About the ManufacturerIn2green, specializes in manufacturing and distributing products that use less first generation materials, such as cotton and petroleum based synthetic fibers, often the biggest abusers of land, water, chemicals and dyes. Instead, they work with recycled /sustainable materials and build on their intrinsic eco-advantages. Many of their knit and woven products, for example, are made of an ECO2cotton blend yarn. The cotton used in this yarn is recycled so no new land development is necessary and far less water, chemicals and dyes are needed. Since the original material, pre-consumer textile table cutting waste, is refiberized and spun back into yarns, unique colorations from the color blending process are possible. They achieve true innovation at a fraction of the environmental cost.

Research Summary
The common human diseases that account for the vast majority of morbidity and mortality in human populations are known to have underlying inherited components. Advances in human genetics have made the identification of genetic variants contributing to these traits feasible. Such identification promises to revolutionize the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these disorders. We have focused on cardiovascular and renal disease. To date, we have identified mutations underlying more than 20 human diseases; these include a host of diseases that define molecular determinants of hypertension, stroke and heart attack. We have gone on from these starting points to use biochemistry and animal models to define the physiologic mechanisms linking genotype and phenotype. These findings have provided new insight into normal and disease biology, are identifying new pathways underlying disease pathogenesis, and are identifying new targets for development of novel therapeutics.
Extensive Research Description
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death world-wide. Epidemiologic studies have identified hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking as major risk factors. By investigation of rare families recruited from around the world that segregate single genes with large effect, we have identified genes that contribute to these traits, putting a molecular face on their pathogenesis. For example, we have identified mutations in 8 genes that cause high blood pressure (hypertension) and another 8 that cause low blood pressure. These mutations all converge on a final common pathway, the regulation of net salt reabsorption in the kidney. These findings have established the key role of variation in renal salt handling in blood pressure variation, and have led to changes in the approach to treatment of this disease in the general population. They have also identified new therapeutic targets that are predicted to have greater efficacy with reduced side effects. Finally, they have identified new signaling pathways involved in the regulation of blood pressure homeostasis. We have taken similar approaches to another common disease, osteoporosis, with the identification of gain of function mutations in LRP5, a component of the Wnt signaling pathway, in development of high bone density. This finding has led to intensive efforts to identify small molecules that impact this pathway to protect against and/or reverse osteoporosis in the general population. Ongoing studies use both emerging and novel approaches to identification of genes that contribute to disease burden in the population, and to understanding the pathways that link genes to disease. Mutations that affect blood pressure in humans. A diagram of a nephron, the filtering unit of the kidney, is shown. The molecular pathways mediating NaCl reabsorption in individual renal cells along the nephron are shown, along with the pathway of the renin-angiotensin system, a major regulator of renal salt reabsorption. Inherited diseases affecting these pathways are indicated, with hypertensive disorders in red and hypotensive disorders in blue. From Lifton, Gharavi, and Geller. Cell, 104:545-556, 2001.

Around the year 1200, a military fort was built at the current location of the Ter Laken castle, on Booischot's territory. Schriek, which was founded in 1125, got its own chapel in 1260 while the main church at Heist was built in 1340. These two religious buildings were heavily damaged during the wars of religion around 1600. During most of the Middle Ages, agriculture was driving the economy and several huge farming domains were built, some of which still subsist today (e.g., Wimpelhoeve in Wiekevorst, traces of which date from the 12th century, and Pandoerenhoeve in Schriek, dating from 1624). During the 17th and 18th century, the miraculous wooden statue of the Virgin and Child in the Hallaar church became an object of pilgrimage.
The current city hall was built in 1844, fourteen years after the foundation of Belgium as an independent country. Today, the city is mostly a residential centre, which offers services to the surrounding communities.
