At his teammates' urging, Hoist invents some new 'cool tools' to improve their rescue abilities. They fail spectacularly, leaving Hoist feeling awful, until Boulder teaches him not to give up.
Synopsis
Boulder is overseeing the recruits on a rescue of Mrs. Rubio in Griffin Rock. Hoist finds his tow line is too short to reach Mrs. Rubio's car, and Whirl isn't able to get a clear shot either. With the rescue becoming more urgent, the team works together to get the car back onto the road, albeit with some work required. The team heads back to the rescue center, where Hoist stews over fact his line was too short. The discussion turns to the extra attachments that the Rescue Bots have, and Whirl hits on the idea of Hoist creating new equipment for them all.
Some time later, Hoist unveils the new attachments he's created and hands everyone instructions. Once everything is fitted, Hoist sets up the simulator to replicate their earlier rescue, with Tough Luck Chuck standing in for Mrs. Rubio. Hoist finds himself unable to hook the car with his new tow line, and when Hot Shot attempts to use his new sonic blaster, the recoil sends him flying. The others don't have much more luck — Wedge's power fists fly off, Whirl's arm rotors send her spinning, and Medix's claws buckle when he tries to open the car door with them. Fortunately Hoist built in stop buttons, so though the simulated rescue fails, they're at least able to get their equipment under control. Hoist is dispirited by the disaster, and heads off. The other recruits reason that all new equipment needs a testing phase.
Hot Shot finds Hoist meditating, and takes him to where Boulder is admiring his creations. Boulder encourages Hoist to continue working on his inventions, and Hoist soon has "version 2.0" ready to go. There's a rescue alarm — a milk tanker has come off the road in Griffin Rock - so the recruits grab their new attachments and go to help. While Whirl and Hot Shot go to clear some humans from the danger zone down the hill, the others work to pull the truck back onto the road, however the tank comes loose, spilling milk. Whirl and Hot Shot are able to keep the milk away from the humans using their attachments, and Boulder seals the tanker. The new attachments are declared a resounding success.
