Robot Pioneers

Another exciting adventure in the life of the twins, Ruth and Rudi.

Accompanied by their grandfather, Professor Nyembezi, they fly to America to resolve problems with the robots he designed for the new Station on Mars.

To resolve the problem of controlling the robotic team, the Professor visits Silicon Valley to obtain special silicon chips to improve the brain box of each robot. Then the Professor takes the twins to visit the incredible Walt Disney World and the adjacent Kennedy Space Centre with the massive space rockets on display. The twins don space suits and are allowed to sit at the controls of the Space Shuttle.

Ruth and Rudi want to establish a miniature railway track inside the iMfolozi Game Reserve but this led to their Game Ranger father, Mike, getting an angry rebuff from the Head Office of the KwaZulu-Natal Parks Board.

The twins then decide on an alternative site for the miniature steam railway on land adjacent to their Drakondale School of the Arts and the Parks Board officials are amazed when the Professor announces that the railway line is being set up inside what is going to be the world’s largest aviary. The bird-wire structure will be raised by the Professor’s antimagnetic units.

The Professor causes gasps of amazement after he equips a redundant Boeing 707 to fly supported by two of his anti-magnetic units bolted beneath its wings. This act causes a sensation because it signals an eventual end to Jet aircraft engines that spew spent fossil fuels across the sky causing serious global warning.
