How 1072 sets off fire alarms

[whakojacko]

When testing our shooter, we ended up hitting a fire alarm which triggered and thus forced us to temporarily evacuate the building. Part robot teaser, part fun. Heres a video (sorry for bad quality). You can visibly see the red light from the alarm when it got hit.

Odd how this seems to happen, huh? Our team had the fire alarm go off for about 30 minutes during our building on Saturday (we don't know what triggered it though). Cost us a whole half hour of work to sit outside and listen to annoyingly loud buzzers.

But shooting outdoors was cold :'(

Not for us :) . We did it in a cafeteria anyway though; no wind.
