Hodge Podge

Hodge Podge was an educational robot attached to a pedestal with a LED screen face and a retractable switch in its chest. It had access to an encyclopedia database of complete world knowledge, excepting the information destroyed by the Voidfish.

The Crystal Kingdom
At some point prior to the events of The Crystal Kingdom, Lucas Miller created Hodge Podge as a way to educate the kids of tomorrow.

In order to shut down Hidge Podge's room and allocate more power to keeping Lucas' lab floating, the boys had to answer a series of questions asked by Hodge Podge. The boys pick Child difficulty and answer its first question correctly, but Hodge Podge notices that their voices and faces aren't even remotely child-like and ups the difficulty to '''Master. '''The boys then attempted to cheat by turning to Angus for answers, but it caught on to that too and deactivated their Stones of Farspeech. After that, the boys were forced to actually use their brains for once, and, after answering enough questions correctly, were eventually given a chance to escape in a bonus round called "Stump Hodge Podge", where if they asked Hodge Podge a question that it couldn't answer they would be allowed to leave. This ended up leading to Hodge Podge's defeat when Taako asked the one question that he knew it wouldn't be able to answer, which was "Who do we work for?" Because knowledge of the Bureau of Balance is blocked by the Voidfish, this question caused Hodge Podge to short-circuit and explode.

Powers and Abilities
By reading the learner's body signals, Hodge Podge could determine whether the user was an adult or a child, and would adjust the difficulty setting appropriately. It could also deactivate the Stone of Farspeech used to communicate with Lucretia, Angus, and Lucas. It could also activate bursts of fire as a penalty for getting questions wrong and was powered by and connected to the core of Lucas' laboratory.
