Obby doesn't understand how the Engineer could make such a big mistake when building him. It must be a programming glitch that won't let Obby says his Rs, which means he can't say his real name Robby the Robot, it only comes out Obby the Obot. What's worse is when the Engineer stamped Robby across the front of him, the R didn't show up. Not a single other robot has this glitch, they can all say their Rs just fine. From racoon, to railroad, to round rolling rocks. But not Obby he can't say any of that, and the other robots remind him all the time. He can hardly walk down the street without a sideways stare or rude comment. And besides not being able to say his own name, he's not exactly sure of his purpose. He decides to skip out on training at the academy to avoid the constant teasing and funny looks from the other robots.
