I almost caught one yesterday, I chased him but he fled.
But if I told my dad he’d say, “It’s all inside your head!”
You really cannot catch them, or find their whereabouts.
But if you meet a Fixie, please, don’t let their secret out!
The Motion Sensor
This part has to be replaced with one that's new.
I've got an idea. How about we run to the warehouse and get it!?
Cause you don't have time to go there.
And that way you can keep on working!
Alright then. Only remember the code for the part!
“A - Eighty three - Seventy five" I’ll remember it for sure!
Why is Elisa always there at the wrong time?!
Do we have to wait till she goes away?
Heh, what for? We'll sneak out behind her! Digit, did you find the part?
It’s here.
Are we ready?
Yeah, we're ready!
Let's do it!
Professor Eugenius, you're in here! Do you know why this door just opened?
And closed by itself?
Of course I know, Elisa. It's because I converted it into an automatic one.
You see, I installed a motion sensor above it.
A motion sensor is like an electronic eye that watches everything that moves in front of it.
Did you ever wonder how doors open by themselves at places like stores or at the airport?
They open with the help of motion sensors.
If the sensor sees that someone walks up to the door, it sends a signal to the door's electric motor.
The electric motor opens the door and then automatically closes it after the person walks through it.
That man is just astounding!
Only a bit untidy.
The door is automatic now? Then why didn’t it open for us on the way here?
Cause we're too little for that motion sensor.
But the part's bigger than we are. Big enough for the sensor to see it!
Then how do we get in there?
We can fool that thing if we stay close by the wall!
Now let's keep this as close to the wall as we can.
This door is a little... too automatic! And these parts are here again.
Didn’t I put them away?
The sensor still noticed us!
Here's what we gotta do. Let's break it!
Why do we gotta break it? All we have to do is deactivate the unit.
Sensors are used to help people in all sorts of different situations.
For instance, motion sensors notice when someone is moving,
so they can automatically open a door or turn on a light.
Some automobiles are equipped with rain sensors. If it starts raining or snowing,
the sensor automatically turns on the car's windshield wipers.
There are also sensors that react to how much light there is.
In the evening, when it gets dark, light sensors can be used to turn on street lamps.
And in the morning, when it gets light again, the sensor switches them off.
A smoke detector can sense when there’s smoke inside.
The sensor can be used to turn on a fire alarm or even an automatic fire extinguishing system.
I turned it off.
That should do the trick.
Great job! Let's go!
Tideesh!
Professor Eugenius! Mission accomplished!
Well done, Fixies!
Actually, not that well.
This part here is "A-75-83"
And I asked for "A-83-75".
Digit, didn't you say you knew the code number?!
I did know it! But somehow... forgot it.
Eh, Digit! I can't believe you forgot it!
Alright, we'll just have to go out one more time!
Thanks, but no thanks! I’ll get it this time.
I forgot to warn the professor that we've turned off the sensor.
And I'm afraid he's expecting that the door will automatically open up.
Professor!
Stop!
Forgive us, we didn't mean it!
