Jimmy Watson saved all his paper round money for eleven months to buy himself a robot for Christmas

A wonderful Christmas animation, and a pretty good graphic novel or comic!

 

 

Jimmy Watson dreamed of having an intelligent robot friend to play with, from a very young age. What a great Christmas animation (Anime) this would make. Or, maybe, a graphic novel, or Manga adaptation. What do you think?


 

 

 

 

Who hasn't dreamed of having a special friend as a child - of making something extraordinary. Believing your parents would not approve. And, you'd be sent to the naughty step, or banished from the dinner table, with just sandwiches, instead of a roast dinner feast. And yet, that thought would not go away. Better to keep such ambitions to yourself. Mum and Dad would not understand anyway.

 

Jimmy Watson is just an ordinary boy. He attends an ordinary school. He is a loner with just a few friends, and quite a few enemies. He often wanders off into a world of his own in classes, not listening to his teachers fully, on those occasions. Although he truly admires his science master, and loves physics and maths lessons. And especially metalwork, when he gets to make things in steel and other exotic materials. Learning all about cutting, joining and even hardening methods. Another world of wonder.

 

 

 

 

Jimmy Watson writes books about how he built his Magic Dinobot, and this helps to fund his more advanced research

 

 

Jimmy Watson writes a book about his Magic Dinobot, that becomes quite popular, including sales of merchandising. The income helps the young inventor to continue improving his friendly robot. This helps to inspire other robot and AI developers to take the plunge, and learn how to code and build intelligent mechatronic machines.

 

 

 

 

Jimmy's special talent is programming. He was taught that at school quite early on. He was always in demand in teams for robot competitions. The only time he was popular at school. With his programming, and provided the robot was sturdy enough, his team would nearly always win.

 

Jimmy would read books on robotics from cover to cover. Sometimes, under the covers by torchlight. In the town library, he would always check out for any new books on animatronics, and mechatronics. His favorite subjects.

 

Then one day in the covers of a robotics magazine, Jimmy saw a kit for a hexapod, designed for developers of artificial intelligence.

Where it may not be possible to extract quality DNA from dinosaur teeth or bones, it is possible to build animatronic robots that are becoming ever more realistic from the art departments of film studios. Jimmy Watson is a schoolboy who dreams of building an artificially intelligent hexapod, based on the design of an Australian Bull Ant, which Jimmy reckons is super efficient at surmounting obstacles. And, small enough, even at 300 times full size, that he might be able to construct it, with a bit of help from his teachers, his Mum and Dad, and a decent welder or two.          Dinosaurs were his favorite animals when he was younger, but too big and clumsy. Jimmy wanted a robot that was versatile, able to climb nimbly and run fast. That ruled out bipedal animals like Tyrannosaurus Rex or even humanoids. Both being unstable without gyroscopic balance, that made them complicated stability wise. But he didn't want a tracked or wheeled vehicle, since they had trouble over rough terrain, or unexplored regions.
