Maybe if we made the tower taller it would be harder to knock over.
Okay, do it.
♪ Time to test your new idea.
(Grunting) (Babbling) Uh-oh!
Well, making it taller sure didn't help.
The Things knocked it right over!
Hmm... maybe a tower's the wrong way to go?
You made that robot a really good bumper, Nick!
Look around.
It's bumped everything over!
Not everything, Cat.
This hat stand isn't nearly as tall as our tower.
Why is it still standing?
Look!
(Gasping) This big plant is still standing too!
And this statue is still standing as well.
Huh... Why are these three still standing, and everything else fell down?
(Gasping) I know!
They're all wider at the bottom!
Hmm... you're right!
Sally, you may have gotten to the bottom of it.
This hat stand is much wider at the bottom than it is at the top.
Maybe... if the tower's wider at the bottom, it might not fall!
Let's try it and see!
♪ BOTH: Ohh!
Well, that looks like quite an improvement.
Things, do your thing!
(Chattering, grunting) Nick, hide!
♪ (Shouting, babbling) (Engine revving, chattering continuing) (Babbling) (Clanging) Now's your chance, Nick!
Flick that switch!
(Beeping, clanging) (Powering down) Way to go, Nick!
It was your great tower design that did it.
