Studying at the Rescue Bot Training Center on Earth, Hoist is learning to have more confidence in himself and work as part of a team with his fellow students Hot Shot, Medix, Wedge, and Whirl.

The Rescue Tools:
After a rescue turned out to be more difficult than expected, the other recruits got Hoist to create new rescue tools for them to use, including a winch whip for himself. Hoist was discouraged when the first test of the tools was a dismal failure, but the other recruits got Boulder involved, and Hoist successfully perfected the tools.

Electromagnet:
Assigned the task of trash collection, Hoist souped up his garbage grabber to incorporate an electromagnet. He successfully used it to locate a shipwreck when the recruits' next mission was undersea trash collection.

Scrub-A-Dubber:
Hoist created the Scrub-A-Dubber to clean up the academy for them while the teachers were away, however the recruits plugged so many power pods into it that it became out of control and they had to trap it in Heatwave's office.

Talkie Squawkie:
Inspired by a dog whistle, Hoist created the "talkie squawkie", a new comms device designed to not be audible to humans. Despite Heatwave insisting it needed testing before use, Hoist proceeded to test it anyway, causing problems when it turned out to drive animals crazy.

Rube Goldberg Device:
Hoist built a Rube Goldberg device supervised by Boulder, and was hence too busy to help Whirl investigate a ghost.
