Once upon a time, in a coastal robot kingdom, an elderly robot king ruled. When his eldest daughter reached the age of marriage, the king announced in all the newspapers, on giant billboards, websites and YouTube videos that anyone who could design and build a working jetpack and use it to complete three challenges with it could win his daughter's hand.
Well, when the robot princess heard about this, she threw a tantrum like you wouldn't believe! She angrily confronted her father, declaring that she would only marry a true prince, and no one else. Her father tried to calm her down, explaining that it was tradition, and that she shouldn't worry because only wealthy robots had enough money to build a proper jetpack. But the princess was not convinced, and in her rage, she was odious with everyone for days.
