Description: The football machine: Harvey's team always loses. Professor Gertie, Harvey's neighbour, can't understand why. But the bouncing boots she invented were too bouncy, and the smoke machine she's sewn into Harvey's shorts blew out so much smoke Harvey couldn't see the goal. Top of the league: The Team needs only one more point to win the league trophy and a trip to Soccer Camp. So, when Darren, the goalkeeper, fumbles an easy shot, the rest of The Team are furious. The soccer camp: After winning the league, they are off to play the best of the best for the Camp Cup. There's just one problem, if anyone finds out that Mark 1 is a robot, The Team will be sent home in disgrace! Will their secret be uncovered?
