The Very Best Robot

Full Episode description

Today in The Imagine Neighborhood™, Scotty and Vac visit a robot wrestling championship. Vac is so excited that he decides to be exactly like his new hero, the intergalactic robot wrestling champion Destructivir! It sounds like fun . . . until things get a little out of hand.

Vac decides to switch his robot code to change how he acts, and he builds himself a new robot body to change how he looks. But it turns out that being just like his favorite battling robot makes Vac miserable! It takes a visit from Destructivir to show Vac that the way you look is just one part of being a robot, but it’s not the most important part.

Destructivir reminds us that the way you look is only one little part of who you are. Being kind—and being yourself—is the best way to be a robot. (Or a person.)
