Andy O'Rourke wants the robot he built to be as "Super Colossal" as those

things he wasn't programmed to do.
Randy O'Rourke wants the robot he built to be as "Super Colossal" as those
at Future World, an amusement park where robots do all the work. Brain
doesn't disappoint him. He does Randy's homework and chores--plus some
things he wasn't programmed to do. His red heart glows in response to
compliments. He blinks when touched. He uses "mind talk" to communicate
with Randy. However, some of Brain's unprogrammed actions are less endearing.
From minor glitch to major, the robot presents a series of escalating
problems. He's out of control, but Brain is almost human and Randy loves
the big pest.
Excerpt
"Sit down here at my desk," Randy said.
The robot's knees bent. His back stayed stiff. He sat down like an old man.
Randy dug a pencil out of a drawer. He took a deep breath and pointed to a workbook. "This is math. Turn to page fifteen. Do ten problems."
The robot picked up the pencil. He opened the book to the right page. He did ten problems--in twenty seconds.
"You better check them," Jacob said.
They were all right. Randy jumped around the room like a kangaroo. "Yahoo! No more homework. No more chores."
"I can't believe it," Jacob said. "That robot is really smart!"
"So smart people will think he has a brain!" Randy grabbed Jacob's shirt sleeve. "That's what I'll name him--Brain!"
