Sixth grade elementary school student Christian of Splendora, Texas named his VGo telepresence robot “Watt” in honor of his hero NFL defensive player JJ Watt, who played for the Houston Texans and is now with the Arizona Cardinals.
JJ Watt surprised Christian at his home to meet him and learn more about his VGo robot that empowers him to virtually join his classmates and participate in school activities from his home.
Christian has not been able to attend school due to his illness with leukemia. Now he can see, hear and interact with his classmates real-time through VGo.
