Botler Blows a Fuse

Programme Outline

Identifying and using right angles

Botler, the robot, is having trouble with a malfunction. The Wattbots are amused, but Amber and Sam try to help him by giving directions. However, they are finding the language difficult. They call on Numberella who explains about right-angled turns as ‘quarter turns’. Amber and Sam use this to give Botler clearer instructions. Eventually, with Uncle Zak’s help, Amber adjusts the robot’s drive system and things are back to normal.
