Who needs Megan Fox to be a Transformer?

Here in Biodiesel 2 we not only dig holes, scrape paint, and clean gutters; we make robots.
A couple of our intelligent students have taken on the job of transforming a electronic, toy car into a fuel combusting robot. The robot will be used to ignite three different fuels, (biodiesel, gasoline, and kerosene). It will be designed to gather and collect data about each reaction. According to the "Transformers" the purpose of this experiment is to find the flashpoints of each fuel, record how much light each fuel produces while burning, and how hot it gets as it burns. They are interested in including an infrared-thermal camera on the robot as well as an arm that will be designed to hold the torch to light the fuels and possibly record temperature. Don't worry everyone, the Fire Department will be involved!
Here are two of our Transformers checking out the car they may use for this experiment.


Oh the concentration of our young scientists!

Even a cool guy can be an intellectual!
