 Forest-Clearing Transformer This fire fighter robot was a group project designed by Jordan Guelde and Daniel Shankland II. Each designed a robot, both using the same core parts but each is meant to perform unique tasks. Guelde’s robot is featured in the gallery and Shankland’s can be seen at coroflot.com/dbs2. “This is an advanced robot designed to clear large areas of foliage from around a forest fire to help stop the flames from spreading” says Yanko Design. Unfortunately this transformer-like, good-looking robot is not designed to be used in real life situations; it is a robot designed for entertainment purposes only. Whose entertainment? That I don’t know folks.
 Traditional back burning would certainly be cheaper and possibly less lethal to surrounding wildlife, but complete with and array of hubless motors, and integrated fuel system of its back this robot is a hell of a lot cooler. Unfortunately this version is intended for entertainment design rather than the production line, but with the help of Governor Schwarzenegger maybe the production line is possible?
