Hodge Podge

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

History
Hodge Podge was a robot attached to a pedestal with a LED screen face and a retractable switch in its chest. It was designed as children's toy whose purpose was to educate the kids of tomorrow. It had three settings, Child, Adult, and Master. Hodge Podge's trivia categories were Math, Science, Magic, History, Problem Solving, and Spelling. It was defeated when it was asked an unanswerable question by the trio in the bonus round. (Who do we work for?)

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 the Director, 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.
