I know this guy designed this robot to be a life saving, firefighting machine but all I can think of when I see those awesome spinning blades is BattleBots!

Senior year independent study project. This futuristic robot was aimed more towards entertainment design...similar to the "Demolition-Bot" seen in the Hollywood film I-Robot. It is designed to cut very large "clear-cut" paths around a forest fire to prevent the flames from spreading. The physical model consists of nearly 600 individual parts and took 6 long months to complete.
