Botley

AndroidXL2, mainly known as "Botley", is an amiable robot possessing levels of artificial intelligence & self-awareness not feasible with current technology. He made his first appearance in JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain.

Botley was built by Professor Spark as a "prototype companion device" for his daughter Polly since the Professor had difficulty finding sitters for her since she kept scaring them away. Curiously, Botley seems to be able to override his own programming if he sees fit since he stated that it was against his programming to reveal the existence of the Time Machine & that he decided to reveal it to the user anyway given the global emergency Polly had created. Also, Botley possesses lingual capabilities, as he can be heard speaking in Russian, so it can be assumed that he also possesses fluency in other languages besides English.

Botley is mostly cerulean in color with three different colored buttons on his chest. The blue button makes a rocket come out of his back, enabling him to fly, though not very well since he wasn't programmed to fly. The red button opens up his stomach plate, but the game never explains what the green button does. Botley has a yellow antenna on top of his head that flashes when he activates his "powerful sensory device" and he can extend his right hand several yards by uncoiling a purple cord at the edge of his right arm.
