Characters

The main characters are:

  • Ema (voiced by Jordi Mand), a cute and smart linguist who is the only alien of the group. She is green with a pink suit.
  • TK (voiced by Camden Angelis), a red kind and cheerful robot with a passion for building and repairing. Her name is initialized as “Tool Kit.”
  • Orbit (voiced by Jake Beale), a clumsy orange robot with a cylindrical head and two bandages taped to the back of his head who works as an artist.
  • Mission Control (voiced by John Stocker), a robotic hand in charge of the spaceship who helps Rob and his friends with solving problems and going on missions.
  • Squeak: a blue clockwork mouse with a great sense of smell who seldom tags along in the adventures.
