5	In this show, three robots named Rivet, Widgit, and Socket, who are all from the planet Clang, crashland on Earth. More specifically, they crashland in a tree in a suburban backyard. There, the three little robots encounter and befriend a pair of 7-year-old gender-opposite twins named Robin and Daisy Harrison, as well as their pet dog Sam (whom the robots equip with a voice box on his collar that allows him to speak). Unable to return to their homeworld, Rivet, Widgit, and Socket proceed to go on a variety of adventures and misadventures with Robin and Daisy (often with the help of a wide variety of gadgets created by the robots), while the human twins make it their duty to keep the existence of the trio of alien robots a secret from everyone else
