There he is!
[Oona] Turning on Oonabot... She can capture the creature without turning to stone.
[squeak] Go get 'em, robot dude!
No-- Oonabots can't think for themselves.
So then how do we get her to move?
So we need to go back here... and program her.
"Program?"
What's that?
Programming is a series of instructions you give a machine so it does what you want.
So we need to program Oonabot to walk from here to the creature and pick it up.
[Oona] Exactly-- So first we program her to walk, then turn... then walk a little bit more, and that should get her to the creature.
Now we press "go."
-[Ocean] Yeah!
-[Oona] Go!
-You got this!
-Dude... Where is she going?
Ugh.
I wasn't specific enough.
I programmed Oonabot to walk, but I never told her when to stop walking.
And now she doesn't know when she's supposed to turn.
[crash] Oh, great!
She went into the bottomless pit door.
So are you saying she's just gonna fall forever?
If she doesn't, then I'm going to have to rename that door.
[squeak] The creature's coming!
Stand back!
[squeak] [sigh] How're we supposed to catch it now?
Don't worry.
I have... ...another Oonabot.
I use this one if I want a healthy snack.
You just reach in her ear... [Ocean] A carrot?
And I can make ranch dressing come out of her nose.
That's okay!
We should focus on capturing this creature.
Right.
So it likes to eat blue stuff.
I know where it's headed next!
Where?
Follow me.
