Elmo, Tamir and Alan build a robot dog for Norbert the Robot, but the tail isn't upright and "waggedy" like Tango's tail. What if they use a wooden paint brush and wrap it with shiny foil? Let's try!

00:00Yeah, that's not even the best part, though.
00:03After that, I have art class.
00:05Wow, third grade sounds really cool.
00:08Elmo can't wait.
00:09Well, first you have to go to the kindergarten,
00:12then first grade, and then second grade.
00:14Boy, Elmo knew there was a catch.
00:17Hi.
00:19Welcome to Sesame Street.
00:21Greetings, Tamir and Elmo.
00:24Here are your cheese sandwiches to go.
00:26I wrapped them in shiny foil to keep them fresh.
00:31Thanks, Norbert.
00:32Yeah, thank you.
00:32And thank you for helping me in the store today, Norbert.
00:35You are welcome, Alan.
00:37I am a robot, after all,
00:39and robots are built to help people.
00:42Oh, hey there, everybody.
00:46Oh, my goodness.
00:48Who is this?
00:49It's Tango.
00:51Hi, Tango.
00:55Tango is Elmo's dog, Norbert.
00:57Dog?
00:58What is a dog?
00:59Scanning database for dog.
01:01No information found.
01:03No, but Elmo can tell you.
01:05Dogs are animals, pets,
01:07and very good friends, right, Tango?
01:11Wow, Tango really likes you, Elmo.
01:14Yeah.
01:14How can you tell that Tango likes Elmo?
01:18Well, because she's wagging her tail, see?
01:19Yeah, see?
01:20Her happy little tail is going back and forth.
01:23Waggity, waggity.
01:24Waggity, waggity, waggity.
01:27Oh, that is so sweet.
01:30Well, right now, I have to take Tango for a walk, Elmo.
01:34See y'all later.
01:35Okay.
01:36Bye, Louie.
01:36Bye.
01:37Have a good walk.
01:39Goodbye, Tango.
01:41Bye.
01:41Oh, it must be wonderful to have a sweet dog like that for a friend.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Well, back to work.
01:51Thanks, Norbert.
01:52Bye, Norbert.
01:53Wow.
01:54Norbert really liked Tango, huh?
01:56Yeah.
01:56Oh, especially when Tango wagged her little raggedy tail.
02:00Yeah.
02:02It's too bad he can't have his own dog.
02:06Oh, wait a minute.
02:07Maybe he can.
02:08Yeah, we can build Norbert a dog.
02:10Huh?
02:10Build a dog?
02:11Yeah.
02:11What do you mean, Tamir?
02:12Well, we can build Norbert a robot dog.
02:15Yeah, I happen to have a kit at home.
02:17I'll show you.
02:19Ta-da.
02:20Ha-ha.
02:21Look, see?
02:22This kit has everything we need to build a robot dog.
02:25Oh, well, hurry up, hurry up.
02:27Open the box.
02:27Oh, boy, here we go.
02:30Here we go.
02:33Um, it doesn't really look like the picture on the box.
02:37Well, that's because it's not built yet, Elmo.
02:39You have to put it together first.
02:40Oh.
02:41Oh, and look, here are the instructions.
02:43Oh.
02:44Well, then, what are we waiting for?
02:46Let's build a robot dog for Norbert.
02:48Ha-ha-ha.
02:53How do you build a robot dog?
02:57You take it one step at a time.
03:01Two legs there.
03:02Two legs here.
03:04Is this a tail?
03:06No, that's an ear.
03:07Oh, ears in the foot.
03:09And tail in the rear.
03:14That's how you build a robot dog.
03:15That's how you build a robot.
03:17That's how you build a robot dog.
03:19That's how you build a dog.
03:21How do you build a robot dog?
03:26You take it one step at a time.
03:30And each part, one by one.
03:33Every piece till that dog is done.
03:36Putting it together is so much fun.
03:42That's how you build a robot dog.
03:44That's how you build a robot.
03:46That's how you build a robot dog.
03:48That's how you build a robot.
03:49That's how you build a robot dog.
03:51That's how you build a dog.
03:53That's how you build a robot dog.
03:57All right, here we go.
03:59There.
04:00What do you think?
04:01Ha-ha-ha-ha.
04:02It looks amazing.
04:03Yeah.
04:04But, hmm, Elmo wonders if the robot dog can wave his tail of tango.
04:09Let's turn him on and find out.
04:10All righty.
04:19The tail isn't happy and waggity like tangos.
04:23No, more like sad and droopy.
04:26Oh, no.
04:28I will no but know that the robot doggy likes him if he doesn't have a happy, waggity tail.
04:34This is a problem, Alan.
04:36Ah, but luckily, we know what to do when there's a problem.
04:39Yeah, when there's a problem to solve, what do we say?
04:43We say, I wonder, what if, let's try.
04:47Yeah, I wonder.
04:49What if, let's try.
04:52I wonder.
04:53What if, let's try.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Hmm, Elmo wonders how he can make a happy, waggity tail like tangos for the robot doggy.
05:04All right, let's think.
05:05This tail droops down when it wags, and tango's tail sticks up when it wags.
05:11Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
05:13That's it.
05:14Uh-oh, the robot doggy needs a tail that sticks up like tangos.
05:18Yeah, and the robot dog is made of a shiny material, so this tail should be shiny, too.
05:25Why don't we have that shiny?
05:27Any shiny things around here?
05:28Oh, I know. Norbert wrapped our sandwiches in this shiny foil, so what if we use that for a shiny tail?
05:37Oh, good thinking.
05:39Let's try.
05:40Yeah.
05:43All right, guys, how does this look?
05:45Ah, uh-huh, uh-huh.
05:47We made a tail out of aluminum foil.
05:49Yeah, and we took the droopy tail off.
05:52Yeah, let's put the new tail on, Alan.
05:54All right.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Here we go.
05:57Squeeze it on there.
06:00Great.
06:01Oh, yay!
06:02It sticks up like tango's tail.
06:05Let's see if it wags.
06:06Let's see if it wags.
06:06I'll turn it on.
06:07All right.
06:08It sticks up.
06:10Oh, no.
06:12It fell off.
06:13Yeah, the aluminum foil didn't work.
06:15It didn't stay on.
06:16This is still a problem.
06:18Yeah.
06:19But when there's a problem to solve, what do we say?
06:22I wonder...
06:23What if...
06:24Let's try.
06:26Elmo wonders what else we could use for the tail that we'll stay on.
06:31All right, let me see.
06:33Oh, oh, hey.
06:36Maybe there's something in this can we could use.
06:39Like, maybe this?
06:41Oh, yeah.
06:42That paintbrush is kind of like a tail.
06:44And it has a hole on the end.
06:46Maybe that'll fit over the bolt.
06:48What if we use that?
06:51Let's try.
06:53There.
06:56The bolt is tight.
06:58Oh, and look.
06:59It sticks up just like Tango's tail.
07:02Yeah, yeah.
07:02Okay, let's see if it stays on.
07:03All right, I will turn it on.
07:05Okay.
07:08It stays on.
07:10Yeah.
07:11But, uh, I don't know.
07:14It doesn't look quite right.
07:15I mean, it's not shiny like the rest of the robot dog.
07:17Tamir's right.
07:20The shiny robot dog needs a shiny robot tail.
07:24Yeah.
07:24Yeah, we're never going to find the right tail.
07:27Elmo, I know you're frustrated, but, uh, don't give up, all right?
07:30Let's keep trying.
07:31Yeah.
07:32I mean, after all, we want Norbert to have his own robot dog, right?
07:35Mm-hmm.
07:36Add it into mirror, right?
07:38Elmo won't give up.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Okay, now, the new tail sticks up, but it's not quite shiny.
07:45This is still a problem.
07:46But when there's a problem to solve, what do we say?
07:49I wonder...
07:50What if...
07:52Let's try.
07:53I wonder what we can use to make the tail shiny.
07:58Ooh, what if we wrap the foil around the paintbrush tail to make it shiny?
08:04Aha, good idea.
08:06Let's try.
08:07Let's try.
08:10And there we go.
08:12There.
08:12So the foil was shiny, but it wouldn't stay on.
08:15And the paintbrush stayed on, but it wasn't shiny.
08:17So we wrap the foil around the paintbrush.
08:20And now it stays on and it's shiny.
08:22Yes, yes, yes.
08:24Flip the switch, please.
08:26Yes.
08:29Oh, that's burk, burk.
08:32Yes, yes, yes.
08:33Uh-oh, the robot dog's tail is shiny, happy, and raggedy.
08:38Yes, indeed.
08:39We worked together, we kept trying, and we did it.
08:43Yes, yes, yes.
08:44Yes.
08:45Yes.
08:46Yes.
08:47Yes.
08:47Who is this?
08:50Who is this?
08:51It's a robot dog.
08:52Yeah, we made it for you.
08:53Hey, dog.
08:54Yeah.
08:55For me?
08:56For my very own?
08:57A dog of your very own, Norbert.
08:58Oh.
08:59That is so kind of you all.
09:00Yippee.
09:01Oh, look, look, look.
09:02He is wagging his tail.
09:03Waggedy waggedy waggedy waggedy waggedy.
09:04That means he likes you.
09:06Oh, I am so happy.
09:07Thank you all.
09:08I think I will call you Alfred.
09:09Come on, Alfred.
