Chapter 4: What We've Done
The next night...
BroBot: ":(."
BroBot has just returned from the military base, badly damaged and in need of repairs.
Dr. LeeAnn: "(sighing) I should've waited a little while before sending you there."
BroBot: ":(."
She deactivates B.R.O.B.O.T. and grabs a toolbox off a nearby shelf.
Dr. LeeAnn: "(deep breath) I'd better start with the software, then the hardware."
She begins to fix up BroBot.
Dr. LeeAnn: "(shedding a tear) Just like before..."
Several years ago...
Dr. LeeAnn: "(thinking) Where's the problem?"
Dr. LeeAnn and Dr. Brim are currently trying to design a robot able to lift large chunks of debris to save lives trapped underneath falling buildings.
Dr. Brim: "(sweating) I'm trying to find anything missing in the design..."
Twenty minutes later...
Dr. LeeAnn: "Maybe it's the position of the energy source?"
The blueprints they're examining puts the energy generator a little too far away from the arms.
Dr. Brim: "I think you're onto something LeeAnn!"
In previous trials, the copper wire connecting the source to the arms was severed.
Dr. Brim: "We can try to also make the wires more durable to keep the electrons flowing properly as well!"
Dr. LeeAnn: "Then let's get to work!"
The two spend days working on the robot, most nights unable to sleep a wink, but they finally do it.
One week later...
Dr. LeeAnn: "(deep breath) Here we go."
The two stand in front of a 5 ton boulder and a large, bulky robot and a hefty audience waiting with anticipation.
Dr. Brim: "Activating TremorBot prototype."
The robot springs to life, now walking towards the boulder.
Dr. LeeAnn: "(sweating) Please work, please work..."
The robot picks up the boulder effortlessly, dazzling the audience.
Dr. Brim: "It works. It actually works!"
The two begin to jump with joy.
Modern times...
Dr. LeeAnn: "There, that should do it."
BroBot is reactivate, fully repaired.
Dr. LeeAnn: "Okay, now your next stop is going to be the coal mines nearby that base from before."
BroBot: ":(."
Dr. LeeAnn: "Sorry, but once you take down the TremorBot inside you'll be in town for the remainder of the Bots."
BroBot: ":l."
BroBot leaves to head back out and towards the mines.
Dr. LeeAnn: "Nearly halfway there Brim."
Meanwhile...
Dr. Brim is sitting inside a dark room with noting but a large, wooden desk and a computer.
Dr. Brim: "(menacingly) It'll only be a matter of time before that junk heap of a hero is dismantled and I purge away that antivirus."
Brim is working on some weapon design on the monitor...
