THE BIG EXHIBITION 

 

Hello! 

You have sent me so many ideas and I have tried so many of them that I have been really busy for days. Let me explain to you how it all went. 

Well, I’ve given the robot that he needed, I want him to help with some of the school tasks we have, I’ve changed his glove and on each finger I’ve put a different tool, a pencil, scissors, glue and a cutter. Well thought out, don’t you think ?

  While I was looking for all this, I found some earphones so now he can listen to music and he can also hear me. I can tell him secrets and he can tell me some too ! ( no one can hear us, I have only told you this ).  

 

Now energy! Lets start by taking advantage of solar energy. I’ve been told that it doesn’t contaminate and it costs nothing. All I need is a solar panel and an accumulator. I’ll also use electrical energy, I’ll fix up a plug, a battery and a  battery recharge, of course. I’ll connect this energy with cables which I’ll put all over his body and then I’ll put in a computer chip.

I’ve also made an invention with geothermic energy and for this I need a pot of iron with two holes in it and a tube to join them together. I’ll use the fingers of the glove to build it. I’ll also put in a ventilator to take advantage of the wind and I’ll throw some nuts on it hazelnuts and almonds which daddy says give you lots of energy. 

 

Now you have to help me. Cross your fingers, press on the button and lets hope all goes well  !! 

 

 

 

- Who are you ?
- Who are you ?

- I’m a lonely little girl.
- Well I don’t know what I am but I’m also alone.

- You are a robot !
- R-O-B-O-T ? is it dangerous ?
- No, no, how can you be dangerous if you have only just been born and you haven’t got a name.
- I haven’t got a name -  I haven’t got a name

- Lets see, I have a good name for you, Xancot, because I have some friends here who have helped me a lot and they would love to call you by that name.  
- Call  me - call me !

- Yes, it’s easy ! When you hear Xancooot you have to come right away to see what’s wrong  or hide quickly and pretend not to hear.
- X-A-N-C-O-T... proceeding..

 
- If you want to stay with me we won’t be alone, now you will have to hide a little because if my mummy or daddy see you they might not understand. They think they know everything but some things are just impossible for them to understand. You can live in the shed because they never go there. But what do you need to live ? 
- Looking for information… vital necessities…looking for information… wait whilst charging… pay attention to the screen… on alert… Oh it all happened so quickly I didn’t understand anything.

- Do you know what, Xancot ? I think it’s better if I talk to my friends and discover more things about you and your hard disc, which at the moment we’re not sure exactly how it works. Lets write down on this piece of paper all the things a robot needs to live and other things like what Laura’s budgie needs and the cherry trees in the orchard. Oh, I think we are getting a bit muddled up. Lets see if my friends can put things in order and tell us what each person/thing needs to live. 

Oh, no ! I need more help right now. I’m going to write a note to all my friends who have helped me !!
