Hodge Podge

Hodge Podge
Hodge Podge was an educational robot designed by Lucas Miller. It was intended to be used for educational purposes. It had access to an encyclopedia database of complete world knowledge, excepting the information destroyed by the Voidfish.

Hodge Podge was attached to a pedestal, had a retractable switch in its chest, and was designed for children.

Hodge Podge had three settings, Child, Adult, and Master. It could read the learner's body signals (?) and determine whether the user was an adult or a child. It could de-activate the Stone of Farspeech (?) used to communicate with the Director, Angus, and Lucas.

Hodge Podge's trivia categories were Math, Science, Magic, History, Problem Solving, and Spelling.

Hodge Podge could also activate bursts of fire and was connected to the core of Lucas' laboratory.

Hodge Podge was defeated when it was asked an unanswerable question by the trio in the bonus round. (Who do we work for?)

Hodge Podge's name and his database of "complete world knowledge" are inspired by actor and humorist John Hodgman. Griffin McElroy has stated that he considered asking Hodgman to lend his voice to the character, but decided against it.
