Wheelbarrow robot carries out a controlled explosion on a mock bomb. After a day out with Explosive Ordnance Disposal - I love my uni course!

We had bomb disposal come to our school when I was a kid; We had a lot of sons and daughters of British and foreign dignitaries along with celebs' kids at our school so... when someone found a suspect package with wires hanging out that nobody could account for... The school was evacuated and the bomb squad was called! They did a controlled explosion on this bag using some sort of shotgun mounted on a stand.
In the end it turned out to be some kid's science homework! I can see it now...
"Sorry but I can't hand in my assignment, it was blown up!" :D

Hahah nice! Yeah they showed us the shotgun thing - the thing on the arm of the robot is the same idea but mounted.

We got an hours lecture today, got to play with some inert bombs, then off to the range, blew up 5 bombs, did the controlled explosion, and got taught how to do a line search of the bits.
