Ty and Karlie’s Robot Factory Adventure Began Here . . .
It was a beautiful day in Makersville, and Ty
and Karlie were especially excited. Ms. Omega
had arranged for them to visit a real robot
factory where robots of all shapes and sizes
were built.
Just as Ty and Karlie were walking up to the
factory, a robot burst out of the front door,
wobbling around uncontrollably. A man came
running behind the robot, frantically waving
his arms.
“Oh, hi there! You must be Karlie and Ty. I’m
Milton, the Robot Factory Manager,” said
Milton. “Your mom said you would be coming
today. I’m sorry to say that all our robots
are malfunctioning right now, and the robot
engineers are having trouble keeping them
under control.”
Ty and Karlie looked at each
other. They were thinking
the same thing.
“We can help you fix
these robots,” said
Karlie. “We have lots of
experience building and
repairing robots. It’s one of
our favorite things to do!”
“That would be wonderful,” replied Milton.
“This robot here is supposed to walk on two
legs but it’s missing the rods on its feet that
keep it balanced.”
The robot was wobbling around the yard
outside the factory. The kids got to work
fixing the robot.
