I n t r o d u c t i o nChildhood isn´t always a succession of colourful snapshots of happy families gathered round the fireplace.

That´s why Jonas doesn´t live in a perfect world, even he is far from perfection, but that doesn´t stop him from being happy. Sometimes he has to make use of his imagination to get on with things. Isn´t that something that we´d like to get across to children?

A vision of childhood closer to the real life of many children who watch the TV in Spain and in Europe, it can also be constructive and fun.

W H O I S J O N A S ?He´s ugly, clumsy, nervous and a bit grumpy, but we love him anyway! Jonas has got his faults, but he has two fundamental virtues: he never gives up and he´s always ready to learn new things.

Jonas is an only child in a humble family in a humble neighbourhood. He hasn´t got many toys and the ones he has aren´t very good and he lives in a tiny flat.

What he lacks in material things, he makes up for with his imagination: his bed is a spaceship, the bathtub is a ravenous monster, his teddy bear is a magic oracle, the stairs... the stairs are a galaxy waiting to be explored!

Page 7: Jonas, the animated series

W H E R E D O E S J O N A S L I V E ?Like many young Spanish television viewers, Jonas lives in one of the many typical working class neighbourhoods so common on the outskirts of Spanish and European cities.

A scenario like this may not seem very light-hearted, but to Jonas it´s a universe, full of friends, magical corners and treasures to be discovered.

Of course, it´s also the place where he will learn that sometimes, a child will do well to be careful.

Our little star. The boy that few of us could admire, but one who we can all identify with. Like so many of us in our childhood, whatever Jonas can´t understand, he integrates into his fantasy world.

Jonas isn´t always clever or brave, but his alter-egos are. That´s why we´ll see him as an intrepid space explorer, an epic warrior or a brave fireman.

Above all else, he thinks the world of his grandmother (which doesn´t mean that he will do everything she tells him to) and his teddy bear.

Huan is the only member of the gang who doesn´t live in the building. He´s always happy and he´s a friend you can always count on.

Huan is a bit clumsy, but he always thinks things through with a cool head

Huan

Page 11: Jonas, the animated series

Jonas´ best friend is a neighbour from their block of flats. Jonas´ grandma and Saïd´s mother don´t get on very well, but that doesn´t bother the boys.

In the series we´ll see their first encounters and their first games together.

Saïd isn´t such a daydreamer as Jonas, but he is much more practical. He´s braver, but he doesn´t do so many silly things.

SAiD

Page 12: Jonas, the animated series

T I T ANHe´s like Jonas: ugly and clumsy (and as if that wasn´t enough the poor thing´s got a limp), but we love him.

Katy´s dog Titan is affectionate and really loves Jonas, but he isn´t exactly the most intelligent dog in the world.

12

Page 13: Jonas, the animated series

Pretty on the outside … and hell on earth on the inside! Jonas knows all about pain thanks to his neighbour, a little girl who enjoys making others suffer, especially Jonas!

The question is: why is it that this girl is so well-behaved in front of everyone except Jonas? Maybe it´s because Jonas deserves it...

Page 15: Jonas, the animated series

To us he could seem like a plain old teddy bear that time hasn´t treated well, but to Jonas he is the most loyal of friends, the one who never lets him down, the perfect confidant.

By just snuggling up next to him and smelling his familiar old smell, all Jonas´ problems seem much smaller.

THE TEDDY BEAR

Page 16: Jonas, the animated series

Poor Jenny always dreamed of becoming a princess, now she has to make do with being a single mother in a working class neighbourhood. Perhaps that´s why she spoils her daughter Katy so much. After all she wants her to believe that she is a princess for as long as possible.

Is Jenny superficial? No, she just thinks that if problems are on their way, it´s better if they catch you with your make-up on and wearing your best clothes and that it´s best not to take life too seriously.

JENNY

Page 17: Jonas, the animated series

In Jonas´ mind, it´s impossible that his grandmother and the ogre that tells him off and makes him do things that he doesn´t like doing are the same person.

That´s why his grandmother sometimes transforms into the terrible dinosaur, a voracious and merciless monster who never hesitates to drag him through the house and make him have a bath.

The dinosaur is fearsome, but in Jonas´ world which is loaded with symbolism, it´s often necessary.

The Dinosaur

Page 18: Jonas, the animated series

Is Jonas an orphan? Or is it that his parents can´t be at home as much as they´d like to be? Or they don´t want to be. Perhaps we will never know. What we do know is that the one who looks after Jonas is grandma.

She doesn´t always get it right, she isn´t always sweet and affectionate, but she does the best she can. It isn´t easy to take care of a naughty boy whose head is always in the clouds!

GRANDMA

¡The greatest Hero in humankind’sHistory!

Well, this is the way Jonas seesGigaman. He never misses hisfavorite animated TV show. Gigaman is bold, is brave, isinvincible, never stops smiling.

Jonas’s dream is to have every bit ofmerchandising realting Gigaman:DVDs, games, action figures, towels,comic-books... But, of course Grannycan’t afford them.

THE ORACLE

When Jonas feels a bit lost, the bear turns into a personal oracle, which makes us think that, we are probably seeing the representation his mind makes of his own common sense and his sense of moral principles.

Of course we could be wrong.

In Jonas´ imagination, the bear can be a giant statue in the jungle, the computer in a spaceship or a monk on the top of a column, but the Idol always appears to help our little star.

E P. 0 1 : T H E B AT H T U BThe dinosaur tries to take Jonas, the intrepid space explorer, to the lair that is the bathtub, a terrible child-eating monster.

Jonas escapes and asks the Idol for more powerful weapons to kill the monsters, but the Idol suggests that he surrenders unless he wants to smell bad.

Jonas isn´t sure about it, but he takes the advice. He takes out his flag and surrenders. In spite of the terror he feels he allows himself to be taken to the bathtub... and discovers that it´s great fun!

Page 23: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 0 2 : T H E D O C T O RJonas has got a temperature, but he tries to put the thermometer in cold water so that it doesn´t show. He´s scared of the doctor who he sees as a kind of alien who wants to experiment with him.

It´s impossible to trick Grandma, who finally calls the doctor. Seeing that he´s in a corner, Jonas decides to run away “Great Escape” style. He lets his teddy bear in on the plan, and explains how he´s going to make a tunnel leading out of the house.

The bear tries to make Jonas see sense. With a cold like that he´s not going to get very far. He has to get better first.

Jonas doesn´t want to swallow the medicine, but they make him do it in the end. To his surprise, he discovers that it tastes like strawberries. Besides, now he feels better and bit by bit his symptoms start to clear up.

E P. 0 3 : T H E D A R KWhen the light goes out, terrible shadow-monsters come out from under the bed and surround him threateningly. Jonas asks his little bear for advice, who suggests that he enters the shadow-monsters world.

Armed with a torch, like a brave explorer, Jonas goes under the bed and sees how the shadow-monsters back away scared. They are just shadow children like him!

Jonas sleeps, surrounded by smiling shadows.

E P. 0 4 : F AT H E R C H R I S T M A SIt´s Christmas Eve and Jonas is excited because Father Christmas is coming. Jonas confesses to the bear that he has decided to stay awake, see Father Christmas and take a photo of him with his camera. The bear tries to convince him to go to bed, but Jonas doesn´t listen.

Jonas hides and waits for the right moment as if he were a spy. Grandma tells Jonah off and then makes him go to bed.

Jonas stays awake. He hears a noise which comes from the street. He gets his camera out again but he discovers that it´s the neighbour´s dog. Jonas falls asleep and dreams that Father Christmas asks him to go for a ride in his sleigh and feed the reindeers.

The dream ends. Now it´s daytime and when Jonas wakes up Father Christmas has already been and left him a wonderful present. Amazed, Jonas discovers that there are some blades of grass in his room like the ones he fed to the reindeer. Jonas smiles. Perhaps it wasn´t a dream after all.

E P. 0 5 : T H E E N E M YGrandma is arguing on the landing with a neighbour. Jonas goes to the door and sees the neighbour´s son who looks at him menacingly.

In the shop, buying bread, Jonas takes a baguette and uses it as a sword to fight off a few ogres. Suddenly, his neighbour appears from behind.

The neighbour takes a baguette too and joins in the fight with the ogres. Grandma takes Jonas away, who waves goodbye to his neighbour.

E P. 0 6 : T H E T O O T H R ATJonas discovers that he´s got a wobbly tooth. When his grandma tells him about a rat called Perez who comes to collect the teeth, in Jonas´ mind he adopts the form of a gigantic rodent who comes to rob teeth.

Jonas does everything he can to keep the tooth in its place, but the tooth falls out.

Jonas can´t sleep. He hears a noise, and shuts his eyes tightly. He goes off to sleep. When he opens his eyes, the tooth isn´t there anymore. In its place the tooth rat has left him a coin!

Page 26: Jonas, the animated series

E p. 0 8 : T h e P o s t m a nJonas is looking through a window when he sees a stranger walking to the building. It’s the postman, but in Jonas’ mind it’s an alien invader bringing bad news.

Jonas runs to the door. The postman rings the bell. Jonas tries to avoid grandma notice the bell.

Grandma approaches the door. Jonas panics and tries to stop grandma, but he fails. Grandma opens the door, say hello to the postman and get the mail.

There’s a postcard for Jonas. We don’t know ho’s sent it, but the child is very happy. Jonas look at the postman, now a bright bringer of good news.

E P. 0 7 : T H E S H O E SJonas´ grandma has bought him some new shoes. Jonas imagines them to be some designer trainers and he imagines himself doing some impossibe slam-dunks. But they are exactly the same shoes as the ones he had.

The new shoes make a noise when he walks. Jonas stops, but the noise continues. Jonas notices that his shoes are whispering to him. Conspiring.

Jonas tries to run, but the shoes stay in exactly the same place. The shoes race off, taking him through the house at full speed; defying the laws of gravity, Jonas discovers that if he pulls the shoelaces he can steer them. They are wild shoes which need to be tamed.

Grandma comes out of her room to see what´s going on. The shoes stop in their tracks. They are on the ceiling so she can´t see Jonas who is looking at everything upside down. When grandma goes, Jonas continues the race.

E P. 0 9 : T H E O C E A NSitting on the sofa, Jonas watches his favourite cartoon series: Gigaman! But he drops the remote control and the TV goes off. He´s about to get off the sofa to pick it up when he remembers that his grandmother has told him not to move because she has just mopped the floor.

At that moment a crocodile appears. The floor has become a river and the living room is a jungle. He is no longer Jonas the boy, but Jonas the explorer. Jonas throws a bit of chewing gum at the crocodile who snaps it up in his jaws.

The crocodile chews, but when he goes to open his mouth he blows a bubble which reaches the armchair. The force of the impact activates the mechanism which reclines the armchair and a footrest lifts up. Jonas moves along it and stretches to get the remote control.

27

Page 28: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 1 0 : T H E WA R D R O B EThe wind blows the wardrobe doors wide open. In Jonas´ imagination there are creatures which live in the wardrobe who are setting up a trap to catch him.

In the end his curiosity gets the better of him and sound judgement aside, Jonas goes over to the wardrobe and even gets into it. At precisely that moment, a gust of wind shuts the doors.

The clothes come to life and suddenly he seems to be walking through a forest of shirts, trousers and sheets. Jonas plucks up courage and decides to become an errant knight who, wooden sword in hand, battles against all of the creatures in the wardrobe.

While he continues to push on through the magical kingdom of the wardrobe, Jonas even enjoys facing up to the dangers and magical creatures which he kills with his sword.

The door opens again. Jonas feels that he has won. Now he is the King of wardrobe land.

E P. 1 1 : T H E T A N T R U MJonas is angry. There was only one strawberry sweet left in the shop and the evil Katy snatched it off him. Jonas tells the bear about his plans to get revenge.

The bear explains to Jonas that revenge isn´t good. But Jonas gets angry, gives the bear a shove and goes off. When he returns to his room he is horrified to discover that the bear is no longer there. Jonas starts to investigate like a detective. Ideas start flashing through his mind. Some extraterrestrials have kidnapped the bear. The bear has decided to leave home. The bear has gone to live with Katy.

Jonas is sad because he has lost his friend. Tears run down his cheeks. He decides to go to the bathroom to get some paper to blow his nose when he receives a lovely surprise: the bear is there, hanging up by some pegs! His grandmother had decided to wash him because he was dirty.

Jonas hugs his bear.

E P. 1 2 : G R E Y R A I NJonas gets everything ready to watch Gigaman! but there is interference and he can only see an annoying grey rain on the TV. Gigaman! appears running onto the screen and tries to get away, but a tentacle of grey rain wraps around the super hero.

Jonas finds himself with Gigaman´s power wristband in his hand. He puts it on as if it were a belt. He takes a few felt-tip pens and enters the television screen. The monster is visible, enormous and full of tentacles. Gigaman! is caught up in one of them. Jonas presses a button, but the only thing to happen is that music, typical of that which you´d hear in a lift, starts to play.

The monster catches Jonas, who manages to pull his stomach in and drop the wristband. Gigaman! gets his wristband back and frees himself, he rescues Jonas and escapes with him. The picture returns to the television screen. Jonas has drawn the whole scene in his childlike way with the felt-tip pens. The episode of Gigaman! has finished. The superhero flies on screen, turns and winks at Jonas.

E P. 1 3 : T H E L E A KJonas is asleep one night while there is heavy rain outside. A drop on the ceiling starts to take shape in the middle of a damp patch. The drop falls. He wakes up. Jonas gets out of bed and runs to get a beach bucket. He puts it on the bed to catch the drips. Happy, he looks at the damp patch and laughs at it.

The damp patch becomes a gigantic spaceship. The drops are rays which aim at a base, and he imagines himself in a control centre, checking that the shield will deflect each new ambush.

Really, he is arranging different toys so that the water falls on them. His teddy bear has turned into a computer and Jonas is asking him for a plan. The bear explains that there is an underground ship. Jonas gets in a lift and goes to the ship which is his potty. He steers it to add his shield to that of the asteroid. Outside in the street, it stops raining. The spaceship-stain loses power and stops shooting rays. Jonas goes back to sleep and dreams about the stars.

E P. 1 4 : T H E B I R T H D AYIt´s Jonas´ birthday. The table is ready and waiting to receive his friends. In a flashback we see how one of his friends gives him a video game. His neighbour was given a talking doll etc.

But when his grandmother gives him his present, Jonas discovers a remote-controlled car. Jonas gets angry and puts the car to one side. His friend, the bear, then convinces him to take another look at the car. Jonas realizes that it has turned into a Formula 1 racing car.

Suddenly he is a racing driver competing on a track full of obstacles. The room becomes a circuit in which there are thousands of dangers to avoid. Jonas drives the car and ends up laughing loudly to himself.

When his friends arrive at his home, they all fight over who is going to play with the magic car which is proving to be so much fun for the little boy. Jonas hugs his grandmother, knowing that she has given him the best present possible. It´s the best birthday he has ever had.30

Page 31: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 1 5 : T H E N E I G H B O U RThere´s a visitor in Jonas´ house: it´s Katy, Jenny´s little, angelical daughter. When grandma leaves her on her own with Jonas, Katy becomes a terrifying being who enjoys terrorising Jonas. She rummages through the drawers, breaks Jonas´ toys and throws the contents of the shelves on the floor.

When grandma comes to see what´s going on, Katy becomes the little angel she always is and it seems that Jonas is to blame. The dinosaur-grandmother scolds the boy. Grandma pops out for a moment to do the shopping, leaving the two children alone. Jonas runs away from Katy. He tries to hide himself in the wardrobe, but she always finds him.

His evil neighbour takes his teddy bear. Jonas plucks up courage and fights for his friend. In the scuffle they break a vase. When his grandmother sees the broken vase she transforms into the dinosaur, but then Katy admits that it was her. And as she puts her angelic face on again, grandma forgets about the incident. The little girl goes home leaving Jonas confused.

Page 32: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 1 6 : P U N I S H E DJonas finishes a biscuit and asks his grandmother for another. Grandma tells him he can´t have one. Jonas doesn´t see his grandmother walk away, instead he sees a sour-faced monster and he has turned into an intrepid explorer. Jonas opens the doors of the kitchen dresser and uses them as a ladder to get to the sink. When he gets to the jar of biscuits, a mechanism is activated and the whole temple starts to shake.

Really, he has leaned on the shelf holding the jar, causing it to give way. The jar starts to roll, and Jonas escapes “chased” by a great big ball. The jar falls and smashes into pieces. His grandmother looks at him from the kitchen doorway with her hands on her hips.

Jonas has been punished without television. Jonas protests: Gigaman! is about to start and it´s the episode where he comes face to face with a giant dragon. Jonas asks his teddy bear for advice, but the bear doesn´t answer. Jonas watches his shadow on the wall. He takes a Gigaman! action figure with one hand and makes the shape of the dragon´s mouth with the other and recreates the episode he has missed with shadows on the wall.

E P. 1 7 : I N S P A C EAn immense, intricately designed spaceship, almost like a cathedral. Jonas looks at the ship stuffed into in a claustrophobic spacesuit. It´s his first day at school! He turns around and says goodbye to his grandmother. Jonas is scared. Suddenly a girl with flowers in her hair passes by. She smiles.

Jonas imagines himself to be on the bridge of a spaceship with clean, pleasant lines. He gives an order. The elegant ship enters into hiperspace.

E P. 1 8 : T H E K I T EJonas and his neighbours Katy, Said and Huan play in the park. Suddenly, an enormous kite with no apparent owner glides towards the park. The kite falls on the top of the castle, a structure made of tubes, nets, boards and ropes.

Jonas no longer sees his friends but two pirates. He carries on walking pretending that he hasn´t noticed, approaching the castle. Katy orders Huan to hold him back. In Jonas´ imagination, he nimbly avoids the pirate´s lunges.

Jonas runs towards the castle, to where Katy has already arrived. Each of them taking a different route, they manage to get to the upper part of the castle/boat, but they hinder each other and, in the end, the kite soars up and lands on an even higher place.

They realize that if they work together they can get the kite. Katy and Huan join hands to help Jonas up, who manages to hold on to the kite´s tail by his finger tips. In the end, the children run around the park playing with the kite. 33

Page 34: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 2 0 : T H E G L A S S E SGrandma asks Jonas to go and fetch her glasses from her room. Grandma´s sinister room can be seen from the living room with its door half-open. Old, wooden furniture which is over elaborate and heavy adorns the room, presided by an enormous bed. Jonas goes cautiously towards the glasses which are on the bedside table. It seems to him that bats are coming out of the wardrobe, and that there are dark tentacles under the bed and strange shadows are moving around him.

He gets the glasses and starts to leave with them but when he sees his reflection in the mirror, he drops the glasses which fly in slow-motion towards the floor. He jumps through the air to catch them, but he deflects them and they land on the mattress, bouncing onto Jonas´ face, landing on his nose. Suddenly, Jonas sees the room through his grandmother´s eyes.

It´s well-lit, clean, and the furniture is lovely. Then, he sees himself in the mirror and sees a good-looking, smiling boy. Jonas returns to the living room, gives the glasses to his grandmother along with a kiss.

E P. 1 9 : T H E S P I D E RJonas´ room has got a new occupant: a spider which has spun a web in one of the corners of his room. Jonas does everything possible to get the spider out of his room and breaks the web thinking that the problem´s been solved.

But the next day he discovers that the spider has spun a new web. Jonas prepares all kinds of tricks to get rid of his annoying room mate. Suddenly a fly comes into the room and doesn´t stop annoying Jonas who tries to get rid of it to no avail.

The fly makes the mistake of going too close to the spider´s web and is attacked by the spider. Jonas watches the spectacle enthusiastically, which in his imagination turns into a gigantic fight between a spaceship (the fly) and an army of robots and laser beams. Finally the spider wins and the fly is defeated.

It is then that Jonas changes his opinion of the spider and starts to consider it to be a valuable ally instead of an enemy. And instead of destroying the spider´s web he decides to protect it. Now Jonas and the spider are friends. 34

Page 35: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 2 1 : T H E D O GJonas is waiting for the lift with his grandmother. Jenny comes along with his dog Titan which has wheels in the place of its hind legs. To Jonas he seems to be a ferocious wolf with a flea collar and wooden wheels with sharp blades. The trip to the fourteenth floor seems to take forever. Jonas doesn´t stop screaming, terrified the whole way, whilst his grandmother, Janny and Titan completely ignore him.

When they finally reach the fourteenth floor, Jenny and Titan are first to get out and go towards the door to his house. Grandmother leaves Jonas on the floor while she looks for her keys. Jenny lets go of the lead and takes out her keys.

Jonas hears a noise which comes from Titan´s wheels and he stops, turns around and sees the dog behind him. He imagines the ferocious dog is going to eat him up, but all he does is to give him a loud lick. After that he turns around and goes back to his owner. Jonas enters his house. At night, in bed, he smiles and touches his cheek just before he drops off to sleep. And he dreams that he rides on Titan´s back through magical lands. 35

Page 36: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 2 2 : T H E A N T SJonas is looking at a Gigaman! comic until a small movement grabs his attention. A crumb from one of his biscuits seems to have come to life. Some small ants seem to be responsible.

He decides to observe them through a magnifying glass. He has now turned into Jonas the scientist. Jonas imagines a machine which can reduce him in size. He gets a breadcrumb and joins the procession. The ants whistle a happy tune while they travel home. Suddenly, a teaspoon falls off a plate and the table shakes. To Jonas and his friends, it´s an earthquake. Jonas manages to hold on to a drawing pin with one hand and hold out the other to an ant who is just about to fall.

There are guards at the entrance to the flowerpot. The guards arrest him and take him to the Ant Queen´s throne. An ant enters the room. It´s the same ant whose life Jonas saved. The queen asks the guards to take off Jonas´ handcuffs and signals to the orchestra to start to play. Jonas and the queen commence the dancing. Jonas´ grandmother enters the room and sees her grandson singing next to the flowerpot.

E P. 2 3 : M A G I C C A R P E TJonas is in his living room, hypnotised by the TV. Bathed in the yellowy light of the TV, the living room is uglier than ever. Grandma switches the TV off.

Jonas gets angry and grandma sends him to his room. Jonas asks the bear/Idol for a TV to pass the time. The Idol recommends that he reads a book.

Jonas picks an old Gigaman! Comic which someone appears to have left in his room. The comic turns into a magic carpet. Jonas gets on the carpet and flies out of the window.

E P. 2 4 : H A L L O W E E NJonas asks grandma for a fancy dress costume. Grandma explains to him that they are very expensive, so she takes a bandage and dresses Jonas up as a mummy. Jonas goes out with Said and Katy, who are dressed as a witch and Frankenstein’s monster, but his bandage catches on his front door and his mummy costume starts to unravel.

They tell him that he can´t continue trick or treating with them. Jonas goes home and finds the end of the bandage that was once his costume. He ties it to his waist and takes a run-up. Jonas comes flying out tied to the bandage. The bandages catches on an adornment on the ceiling and Jonas is left hanging there.

A sheet falls out ending up covering Jonas from head to toe. Katy and Said appear, happy with all the sweets they have collected. When they see Jonas, they run away screaming leaving their bag of sweets behind. Jonas moves about so that the bandage gives way and he falls onto a mountain of sweets. 37

Page 38: Jonas, the animated series

E P. 2 5 : T H E P A R KGrandma takes Jonas to the park so that he can play with his friends. However, she insists that he stays in the same place and that he is very careful.

When the ball goes behind some bushes, everyone asks Jonas to go and get it, but remembering what his grandmother has told him, Jonas refuses. When his neighbour starts to laugh at him and call him a chicken, Jonas decides to go and get the ball. Jonas, now an explorer, goes into the bushes and finds the ball, but he realises that he now doesn´t know how to get back to where the other children are. He feels like a castaway on a desert island. For want of his bear, he tries talking to the ball, but it just isn´t the same.

Suddenly, any noise becomes really terrifying. The crickets, the sound of the wind... he hears footsteps. Jonas thinks it must be a monster, which is why he decides to get in first and attack...

But it´s his grandmother who has come to get him. She tells him off but Jonas doesn´t care.

E P. 2 6 : G I A N T R O B O TJonas carefully stacks his wooden blocks to construct a basic building. He adds all kinds of objects: a pen for a tower, a shoebox for the base of another building...

In his mind it´s an immense city with towers that touch the sky and slides and rollercoasters to get from building to building. Jonas contemplates his work from above, but something is missing...

Suddenly Jonas sees an old robot and a toy gorilla under the bed. Jonas imagines himself inside the controls of the giant robot, in the middle of the city, fighting with a giant gorilla.

A fight takes place during which they destroy everything until the giant bear appears and makes them stop. Jonas looks at his teddy bear who looks at him with disdain. Jonas realizes that he has destroyed the city with his game. The gorilla and the giant robot help to rebuild it.
