Robots

J has a love for robots (among many other things). He and Miss Girl were playing together and were sharing the large mega bloks. Miss Girl was creating a lovely house. J decided to create a robot as tall as he. Miss Girl encouraged his endeavor, donating blocks from her stash when her house was finished. It grew, and grew until J created....J****Bot! J****Bot was a little top heavy and needed to lean against the hutch for support.


J****Bot is a "Bounce Bot" because he walks stiffly, using first one foot then the other. With help, of course.
There were still mega bloks left, so J decided to create....JuniorBot, J****Bot's son. He gets around by using wheels. He is a "Roller Bot."

Looky there. We STILL had mega bloks left! JuniorBot apparently produced his OWN son. This one was named, "BabyBot." BabyBot's eyes had some difficulty with focus. He is a "Skimmer Bot" which means that he skims above the surface as air pushes its way through the window holes.

BabyBot felt the need to produce an heir, as well. We were down to the bottom of bucket as far as choices of available blocks. Because of the scarcity of building materials, the new Bot was very short. His name? "NewbornBot." He is a "Scooter Bot" because the door slab is attached to its frame and opens and closes rapidly to help him move.

J wanted to demonstrate J****Bot's ability to obey commands. J said, "J****Bot! Nod your head!" J****Bot instantly obeyed. More commands followed with instant obedience. I planned to take J****Bot aside and determine HOW J got him to obey instantly. That information will be put to use as soon as I can figure out how to apply it to 7yo humans.

Evidently, the tables were turned! J****Bot began to command J! "J! Stand exactly the way I am standing." It worked! I have GOT to get to the bottom of this. I could write a book and make millions!

Our final picture: Inventor and Inventions. One big, happy family.
