This demo presents our final year project Minesweeper, which is a semi-autonomous robot that is made out of low cost materials and components. Its aim is to detect a buried mine and successfully disarmament it. This robot consists of a light chassis, mounted on a top cars wheels, to provide it with easy motion on medium rough terrain, and is controlled by the Arduino Duemilanove board. The main issue well be focusing on is mine detection and removal. Mines are assumed to be metal mines, so the detection method will basically be metal detection.
I had an idea maybe someone could create a machine that uses high pressure water to destroy the mines,I have heard that its possible to create a water jet so strong that it can cut steel so I guess it could cut through the metal or plastic 'shell' of the mine also the water would wash away the soil and expose other mines,and when the mine explodes at worst the operator may need to replace a couple of hoses or maybe a jet nozzle and the water could be sucked up and reused. thanks =)

be nice if landmines were all deployed on table tops....but in the bush this thing would travel 1cm before getting stuck.
