Smoke Eater is an autonomous robot that randomly searches for fires and then 
extinguishes them once they are found.  It is equipped with a UV detector for flame 
detection and IR detectors and bump sensors to avoid all obstacles in its way.  It also has 
CdS cells to find certain areas in the building that it resides in.  When it reaches a fire it 
extinguishes it by spraying it with water, then it continues its search for fires.
