The four Prototype This! hosts inspect the "pyro pack" they've conceived of and built. For this episode, the challenge was to come up with two things, first a backpack that could hold a series of things that any firefighter would want to have on his or her back and, second, a robot that can climb stairs carrying many of the heavy items that firefighters have traditionally had to lug up stairs themselves.
Here, while the show's video crew films them, the hosts get a first look at the prototype of the pyro pack after its arrival from the Carlsbad, Calif., company that built it.
