Bomb Disposal Unit
Bomb Disposal Unit
Reamda is a Tralee based company that is helping build robots that can be sent out to tackle dangerous situations such as bomb disposal. They visited Firies National School. We got the opportunity to talk to the designed and ask questions. We were able to drive the robot using a computer and control. Watch our video below. We thought that it would take a bomb to close Firies National School. Little did we realise that a few days later we would be forced to close due a microscopic virus.
