In 2020, human boxers have been replaced by robots. Charlie Kenton , a former boxer, owns the robot 'Ambush', but loses it to a bull belonging to promoter Ricky. Having made a bet that Ambush would win, Charlie is indebted to Ricky. After the fight, Charlie learns that his ex-girlfriend has died, and that he must attend a hearing deciding the future of their son Max. There, Max's wealthy aunt Debra and her husband Marvin request full custody, which Charlie concedes for $100,000, half in advance, on the condition that Charlie retains Max for three months. Thereupon, Charlie and Max, and Bailey Tallet, the daughter of Charlie's boxing coach, acquire the once-famous robot 'Noisy Boy' and arrange a fight, in which Noisy Boy is destroyed. Attempting to scavenge parts of a new robot, Max and Charlie discover 'Atom', an obsolete but intact robot designed to withstand severe damage, and capable of mimicking its handler's motion. At Max's behest, Charlie pits Atom against the robot 'Metro', whom Atom overcomes. Max convinces Charlie to train Atom, resulting in a series of victories culminating upon national champion 'Twin Cities'. Elated by victory, Max challenges global champion 'Zeus'. Immediately, Ricky and two henchmen attack and rob Charlie, who thereupon returns Max to his aunt; but persuaded by Bailey, Charlie arranges the challenge offered by Max and convinces Debra to allow Max to witness the fight. Ricky bets $100,000 that Atom will not last the first round against Zeus, but loses his bet and is cornered by the fight's bookmakers. In the penultimate round, Atom's vocal controls are damaged, whereupon Charlie guides the robot through his mimetic powers to overwhelm the weakened Zeus; but is unable to win within allotted time. Zeus is declared the winner by number of blows inflicted; but the near-defeat leaves the Zeus team humiliated, and Atom is labelled the "People's Champion".

Health Class (CRR)
In Health class we are learning about all the different components that come together to help our body complete there daily activities. Our body uses nutrients as an energy source,to heal, build and repair tissue to sustain growth, help transport oxygen to the body cells and regulate body functions. There are six types of nutrients carbohydrates,proteins,fats,cholesterol, vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates are starches and sugars found in foods we consume that the body uses as its main source of energy. Proteins are nutrients the body uses to build and maintain cell and tissues these are found in the amino acid and proteins also help you grown from childhood to adolescent. Fats are naturally stored in your body but the different fast you consume have a different effect. Fats help you stay in shape and are a good energy source. It also protect some organs and bones in the body. The three different components of fats at saturated, unsaturated and trans fat too much can cause cholesterol which is a waxy fat like substance in your blood need to create cell walls, certain hormones and vitamin D. That's when high blood pressure comes into play. Too much fat causes to many of the cholesterol substance to flow in your blood which starts blocking your arteries and makes it difficult for the blood to circulate throughout the body leading to many different diseases and sometimes even death. Vitamins, minerals, and water do not provide energy, but performs a wide variety of body functions. Vitamins are compounds found in food that help regulate many body processes. Minerals are elements found in food that are used by the body. Water is essential for most body functions because all body cells contain water. The function of water is moving food through the digestive system, digesting carbohydrates and protein, and aiding other chemical reactions in the body, transporting nutrients and removing waste, storing and releasing heat, cooling the body through perspiration,cushioning the eyes,brain, and spinal cord and lubricating the joints.
