Based on the annual RoboCup Soccer Tournament, this book is great for generating discussion around AI and STEM.
The Dynamos are playing in the Robot Soccer Championship!
Rocco would love to be out on the field with his team, but a glitch in his sensors makes his kicks go all wonky and his head-shots fall flat. Still, that glitch gives him a special skill in fixing his teammates.
He's the Robot Repairer!
With just minutes to go, tragedy strikes. The Dynamos' star player breaks a rod connecting his knee to his foot. Rocco doesn't have a replacement in his tool kit and can't fix him.
When the coach tells Rocco to take Tycho's place, his dream comes true. He zooms onto the field. But when he misses a kick that lets the Cyborgs tie the score, Rocco has a big decision to make. If he stays in the game, the Dynamos might lose. What will he do?
