Bobby came to the Animal House with his brother Chico and has loved living there ever since. He doesn't go on as many trips as some of the other animals, but he loves exploring the nature near his house. Among other things, he and his brother Chico have a rock collection of all the rocks they have collected over the years. Bobby also likes looking for birds and other wildlife in his area and reporting the sightings to different nature groups. They love doing things like this because it reminds them of living in the Himalayan Mountains, as they did before they moved here to the Animal House.
Bobby LOVES sports, especially soccer and skiing. He and his team, the Red Panda Rockets, have won many soccer trophies. He has even competed in some amateur skiing races, though he has never won any. To Bobby, there is nothing better than being outside and feeling the wind blow over your fur. However, he can't stand hot days, and stays inside when it is above 70 outside. When he isn't doing any sports, he loves playing games with his brother Chico and his father Hamlet. Bobby also enjoys practicing karate with Chico and Hamlet in his free time.
Interviewer- "Hi Bobby, thanks for joining us this morning. I heard you
and some other animals are in a robotics team at your school. What is it like?"
Bobby- "Well it's really fun and I've really been enjoying it. I am on a team
with my brother Chico, and two of my other friends.
Interviewer- "Well that's just great! I heard that in this club, you have to
build your own robot to compete at the competitions. Could give our readers some
tips on how to build a successful robot?"
Bobby- "Oh, I'd love to! First, they give you a manual of how to build the overall
structure of your robot. After that you are free to do
whatever you want! Some teams choose to just stick to the regular design and focus on driving.
However, my team did something different. We looked at how you needed to score points, and
adjusted our robot based on those observations. But before that, we had to get the
regular structure built. One thing we found really helpful was to read the
directions twice, and make sure we got the right parts.
Interviewer- "Well thank you for sharing that with us. I have one more
question. How do you drive something like this?
Bobby- "Well, every robot has a brain. Inside this brain
is a battery that fuels the brain. The brain tells the other parts of the robot
how to move. It does this with motors that make things move. The controller is connected the brain.
Now, all you have to do is practice, practice, practice!
