The team tries to revolutionize firefighting equipment. As they learned, hauling the heavy fire equipment up flights of stairs leaves firefighters tired, and with less oxygen in their tank. One of their challenges was to build a “Stairbot” to carry the equipment, and then convert into a rescue seat. The second challenge the team faced was to design an ergonomical “PyroPack” that would give our flamebustin’ heroes the chance to save even more lives.
