Enter Mateo Luna, perfect on paper - captain of the football team and the robotics club - who recognizes Bel as a potential asset, even if they couldn't be more different. And as the nights of after-school work grow longer, Bel and Teo realize they've made more than just a combat-ready robot for the championship: they've made a connection themselves.

But with graduation approaching, their differences and what they want for their futures, threatens what they've built together. Can they survive Nationals without breaking their robots - or their hearts?
