It's the day-after-tomorrow-future. The place is Bubble Town, where RobixCorp. tests all their latest and greatest robots. RobixCorp. is the world's leading robot manufacturer thanks to their invention, the Emotion Processing Unit (EPU). The EPU enables each robot to have feelings and emotions equal to those of a person.
In Bubble Town you'll find robots of all shapes and kinds developed and engineered to do all sorts of tasks� construction workers, personal trainers, policemen, waiters�even one of a kind test model robots. Humans and robots have lived and worked together in harmony, until now�suddenly robots have been battling each other and no one knows why!
The kids in Bubble Town are like most kids today�with one exception. Instead of wishing for the newest Pokémon toy or the latest video game system, every kid wants a robot of their very own.
The center of the action is a group of kids who call themselves the "botties," after the Botties Pit � Hela's robot repair shop where they work after school.
There's impulsive Abby, tiny Chip, not so tiny Mong, and Hela one of the most respected robotics engineers. They share a love for robots and an expert knowledge of them. When a new whiz kid, Connor, moves to town, he quickly earns the respect of the "botties" when he repairs a robot called CUBIX, known as the "unfixable robot".
Hela's Dad, Professor Nemo - the legendary Nemo of RobixCorp. - created CUBIX. It was Nemo who discovered Solex, a discovery that held much promise for RobixCorp. Solex is the most powerful energy source in the Universe. Professor Nemo's lab mysteriously exploded shortly after his discovery and everyone considers that he is dead.
Now operational, it's not long before the mighty powers of CUBIX are put to the test. CUBIX stands up to evil & crazy robots and reveals a series of startling powers. He can transform into dozens of different things�a bike, a helicopter, a stealth jet, a jet ski�even a cobra! Though normally playful and fun loving, Cubix will go to any length to protect his friends.
