Colin and His Robot

As food allergy parents, it is understandable that we get wrapped up in the anxiety of trying to keep our children safe. So I am grateful for those occasions when someone can contribute something positive to our situation. A useful tip or recipe or an inspiring anecdote can feel like sunshine on a cold, rainy day.

Thank you, Colin, for your marvelous imagination and authenticity. Maybe one day, you'll make your invention a reality.

My Robot RDA5

by Colin

I made a robot. His name is
Robot Dee Alex, or RDA5.
The five is because I’m 5.

He is made of three boxes
and some tape.

I feed him food and he can tell me
when my food has something I’m allergic to.

A few of the buttons are for
changing things into different colors.

He has a computer
and a keyboard.

He has three lights. One is for
emergencies. One is for when
good things happen. And one is
in case the robot is broken.

He has oil to help him move.

He is a cool robot.
