Synopsis
Robot Jones sends a decoy version of himself to school so that he can attend a robotics expo, but the decoy ends up becoming popular with his classmates.

Plot
The episode begins with Robot eating toast, when he scans a promo for the Robotics Tech Convention. Robot tells Mom Unit that he wants to enter, but Mom Unit tells him that he can't miss school, and he needs to study the subject of popularity. Mom Unit and Dad Unit have an argument after she said that Dad Unit's not popular. Robot enters the school bus, but nobody lets him sit. Everyone says that he has to go to the back, along with Mikey. Robot gets bored with Mikey, and throws his head out of the bus.

At school, everyone is break-dancing, and Robot tries to talk to Socks, but he can't listen. Robot turns off the music, causing the crowd to be angry. Socks says that to be popular, Robot needs to make his Popularity Quotient bigger. Robot decides to go to the Robotics Tech Convention to get some upgrades. Socks tells him that Principal Madman will be angry if he went there. The next day, Robot uses a robot that looks similar to him so that he can go to the convention. Robot gets some new upgrades, an autograph and cleaned. At school, everybody is cheering for the actual Robot Jones. Robot finds out that the fake Robot became popular, and says that he's the real Robot Jones. Robot tries to prove that he's the true Robot, but everyone hates the actual Robot. Eventually, he uses his cool dance move, scaring all of the students. Robot thinks that he's popular, until he realizes that everyone disappeared. Robot concludes that at least he's not Mikey.
