Season 2, Episode 6
Premiered October 21, 1989
Quickly
Velma's science fair project runs amok.
Thoughts, Details, Recap
The gang and Velma's parents are in the audience to support Velma when she shows her robot. Fred says the robot looks like the Metal Men from Mercury. Red teases the robot and gets washed out. Velma created a robot with feelings and free will. Velma wins of course.
Second place was a fountain pen spatula...okay...stiff competition. Although to be fair, the mechanism looks well done.
Something robs the lockers at their school. They quickly find all of the missing things in Velma's locker. This leads to Velma getting suspended. They sneak her back into the school to investigate. They are attacked by Velma's robot. Scooby gets them away from the robot by tickling him. This doesn't make sense if the robot is a person in a costume but it kind of works if the robot is Velma's robot. Yes, I care if the rules are consistent.
The chase music is provided diegetically in this episode by the robot.
They solve the case by overloading the robot by asking him to do too many things. Anyway, it was the kid who came in second place. He was angry that Velma beat him. But come on! Velma created a robot that could do pretty much anything she asked. He made a spatula that fit into a pocket protector.
