:04:17. > :04:20.Jacob got really sick and doctors haven't been able to figure out
:04:21. > :04:24.what's wrong yet so in the meantime, he can't go to class. So his

:04:32. > :04:36.Jacob's friends dad just so happen to have one of these new robots so
:04:37. > :04:39.he let Jacob use it to attend school. Although it is really useful
:04:40. > :04:45.for Jacob to help him see his face and get back to class, he mainly
