>>RACHEL: Good morning, it’s time for Chompers, your morning and night toothbrushing show. 


It’s Robot Week! And we asked you Chompions - If you could build a robot that could do ANYTHING -- what would you have it do? So today we’re talking about how some of you would program your personal robot. 


>>RACHEL: But first, start brushing on the top of your mouth on one side, but don’t brush too hard.


>>KIDS: 3, 2,1 brush!


>>RACHEL: Chores are a bore! Am I right? And some of you say you would build a robot to help clean up around the house. Thad wants a robot to pick up his toys and Evangeline’s robot would do the dishes. 


Jackson says, even if he built his own robot, he would still wipe down the dinner table himself. He wouldn’t want the cleaning spray to get his robot wet, and make it malfunction…

>>RACHEL: Elijah’s robot would make him an omelet. 


[SIZZLE]


>>RACHEL: Anton doesn’t want his robot to MAKE food. He wants it to EAT food!  Anton says his robot would hide under the dinner table and eat the food he doesn’t like, especially zucchini and olives. 


[CHOMP]


>>RACHEL: Switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…

Robots could also help with animals at home. Mara would build a robot to translate what her cats say so she can talk to them and understand them…
