The Team are about to play the Best of the Best at Soccer Camp, but if anyone finds out they've brought a robot instead of a responsible grown-up, they'll be sent home immediately. Luckily, Mark 1, the Football Machine, is in disguise...
The Team are on top! They only need one more point to win the league. But when Darren, the goalkeeper, lets in an easy shot, the rest of The Team are furious. Suddenly they're all arguing - and losing. Will Harvey's brainwave save The Team - or is he being just too silly?
Harvey's team always loses. But Professor Gertie, Harvey's neighbour, thinks she has the perfect solution: Mark I, the Soccer Machine. He has a metal body covered with Squidgy Skin, a top speed of 60km/h, and he's programmed to win. Suggested level: primary.
