On a Friday night, not wanting to join an extremely competitive game night with Kevin and Gretel, Fred instead has to help Hiromi with an interview for the school paper, as the two overhear Principal Funderberk talking with a suspicious-looking scientist about some evil scheme, stored inside a crate left in the gym. Hiromi and Fred go investigate and discover animatronics based around their school's mascot, the East Side Plumber. The robots get accidentally activated and terrorize the school.

!!Tropes:
* AIIsACrapshoot: The camera flash of Hiromi's phone [[KillerRobot turns the robots hostile]]. This was a bug in the system.
* FictionalBoardGame: The board game that Kevin and Gretel play is made by the Grant-Gomezes themselves. The board itself has a big {{Cloneopoly}} vibe to it.
* FunWithAcronyms: The term "evil scheme" that Principal Funderberk was talking about and that was printed on the crate turns out to be an acronym: '''E'''astern '''V'''alley '''I'''ntramural '''L'''eague '''S'''parring '''C'''ontest of '''H'''igh School '''E'''lectronic '''M'''ascots. It would be downright ShoehornedAcronym territory for not including the S from School on top of the E being a typo that was included in the acronym anyway, if it weren't an unfortunate coincidence.
* GameNightFight: Not ''quite'' there, but the Grant-Gomezes get ''extremely'' competitive during Game Night, and arguments tend to happen.
* HostileAnimatronics: The mascot robots become this with the flash of a camera.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Hiromi and Fred overhear Funderberk conversing with an evil-looking scientist about an evil scheme, and discover robots that go hostile. Turns out the "evil scheme" was the acronym for a [[UsefulNotes/RobotCombat robotic battle competition]] that the school's engineering club qualified for, the scientist guy is a new physics teacher that was troubleshooting since they discovered a glitch, which also explains why the robots went hostile.
