Unfortunately, Rahul’s big reveal didn’t work that well, as the door creaked and stuttered and, halfway up, got stuck.

“Have you thought about inventing something to make the garage door open easily, Rahul?”

“No, Dad. You need to get that fixed by a grown-up.”

“OK. Try pressing the button again.”

Rahul did. The door creaked and stuttered again, but then jerked up, opening all the way –

– to reveal Rahul standing by something.

Somewhere in there – definitely – was Amy’s wheelchair. But it was hard to see, as three more chairs had been fastened to it (not wheelchairs – ordinary chairs: one next to Amy’s chair, and two behind it).

There was a series of pipes and wires connecting all the bits of it together. And over the whole thing – to make a roof and glass windows – had been placed what looked like two enormous upside-down fish tanks.

“The Taylor TurboChaser …” said Rahul proudly, gesturing to it with a big arm movement. Amy and Rahul’s dad looked on, open-mouthed. “… ZX115,” Rahul added.

“You really must get on with the Robotic Returning-Cup,” said Sanjay eventually.
