The Wild Robot- Final Test

The sun’s energy recharged her battery.

One of the otters slapped the “on” button on the back of the robot’s head.

Roz had been programmed to turn on at a certain time.

Heavy water pounded against her body and knocked her to the ground, and her Damage Sensors flared for the first time.

Roz could feel her Survival Instincts—the part of her computer brain that made her want to avoid danger and take care of herself so she could continue functioning properly.

Then a bigger wave sloshed toward her, and she stepped away again.

It looked lush and safe up there.

He thought it was neat and wished he could make fire.

He felt glad Roz could start a fire because he loved fire but rarely saw it.

He felt excited about having fire near his home because it was so useful.

He had always been afraid of fire before, but he thought Roz’s fire was amazing.

But what most astonished Mr. Beaver was that Roz and Brightbill were huddled around a small crackling campfire.

“But—but—but how?”

“I’ve only seen it blazing through the forest, burning everything in its path. But this is marvelous!”

Mr. Beaver sat and warmed his paws. “I’ve never seen fire in such a neat little bundle.”

Roz was always there, ready to answer her son’s questions, or to play with him, or to rock him to sleep, or to whisk him away from danger.

With a computer brain packed full of parenting advice, and the lessons she was learning on her own, the robot was actually becoming an excellent mother.

Like most goslings, Brightbill followed his mother everywhere.

He was a slow, tottering little thing, but Roz was rarely in a hurry, and together they loved meandering along the forest paths and around the banks of the pond.

There was no Truce Day and Roz was afraid of what the animals might do to her.

Roz was afraid of water.

Roz’s instincts told her that water could do serious damage, so she knew she must not get herself all wet.

Roz was afraid of Rockmouth, the fish.

They made fun of his brightly colored bill.

They made fun of him for having a monster for a mother.

They made fun of him because he couldn’t swim.

They made fun of him because he couldn’t fly.

He knows the bears are bullies.

He knows Roz would defend him.

He loves Roz and wants to protect her.

He was upset and angry after seeing the dead robots and wanting to fight someone.

But before she could do anything, there was a loud squawk and a streak of feathers.

Then, with a flick of her paw, Nettle sent Brightbill tumbling over the ground, over and over, until he flopped onto his back and stared up at the sky, stunned.

“So the rumors are true!” Nettle laughed. “There really is a runty gosling who thinks the robot is his mother!”

But the gosling stood his ground. He spread his wings and hopped around, ready to defend his mother.

The mother bear pushed Roz off the cliff.

Roz was damaged, but she saved the life of one of the bears.

Roz lost her head.

The bears died.

Roz sent Brightbill to the robot graveyard to get another foot.

Mr. Beaver made Roz a new foot and other animals helped attach it.

A woodpecker made Roz a new foot.

All of the neighbor animals helped make Roz a new foot.

Leaves changed colors and fell to the ground.

Frogs, bees, snakes, and bears began looking for a new winter home.

Nuts fell to the ground, and Chitchat was too busy gathering them to talk or visit.

Brightbill migrated with the other geese and Roz was alone.

take care of Brightbill

help others

find other robots and fix them

find her way back to the factory where she had been built

Roz kept the fire going and other animals came into the Nest to stay with her.

Brightbill came home to take care of her.

The other animals learned to talk to her.

The dead robots were fixed, and she finally had friends who were like her.

Roz was trying to be more like the animals so she could better survive.

Roz thought it was fun to act wild.

Roz had noticed that the animals liked her more when she acted wild.

Roz had a glitch that turned her into a wild robot.

All the robots did everything his mother was able to do.

All the robots shut down every night to conserve energy.

All the robots spent their time with animals.

All the robots had jobs to do.

They wanted to study how Roz’s behavior had changed when she became wild.

They wanted to shut down Roz.

They had come to retrieve all ROZZUM units.

They wanted to live free with Roz.

They could not survive in the wild and they died.

Roz fought them and made them die.

Roz’s animal friends attacked them and made them die.

They went back to where they came from in the airship.

They think the RECOs are monsters that will hurt them.

Roz has helped them and she is their friend.

They think the only good robot is a dead robot.

They are defending their island and their families from monsters.

She has a purpose and she must fulfill it for her Makers.

She does not belong on the island with wild animals.

She will die soon.

She must leave the island to be repaired, and that more RECOs are coming.

She was badly damaged.

She ran away and hid in a cave from the RECOs.

She was captured and taken away by the RECOs.

She died.

Roz would fight the other robots and keep fighting until she died.

Roz would return to her Makers and accept her job, whatever it was and wherever it might be.

Roz would shut herself down and not let the RECOs take her away.

Roz would return to her Makers, get the repairs she needed, and then she would escape and find her way back home.
