**\[Mayor Ishii]** Welcome, traveler! 👋 You look exhausted! Here, grab a seat. 🚨 NO NOT THER-- okay it's fine it's fine. I know that bird. His poops brush right off.

I'm Lily Ishii, the mayor of Stardust Springs. You're probably thinking, "Wow, you look really young to be a mayor!" Well, you're right. 😎 At 19, I'm the youngest mayor in our town's history. But don't let my age fool you. I'm all about finding fresh solutions to big problems.

Speaking of which, see that stadium over there?

You'll never guess what it's for. Recycling! ♻️ We've turned recycling into a spectator sport. We call it RoboBattles!

We take junk out of landfills. Bike parts, broken appliances, you name it. We craft that junk into wild, weird, and colorful robots. Then we ride them into competition, battling to break them down into scrap! Parts fly every which way. The crowds go wild. And every battle ends with a treasure trove of recyclable materials! 🗑️🏆

You should see the robot designs they come up with. Tentacle pincer robots. 🐙 Pink rocket robots. 🚀 Cat robots with giant propeller tails. 🐈🌪️

I know you just got here, but we're always looking for new RoboBattles players. What do you think? Want to become the next RoboBattles star? Yea!? Let's gooooo!

Hey, wait a sec... I never got your name!
