Ready, Steady, Build!
The third spin-off is Bob The Builder: Ready, Steady, Build!. The gang has now apparently moved to a place called Fixham Harbour and the show is now animated in full CGI animation instead of the traditional stop-motion animation.
It features new characters that can move on water. The characters from the previous spin-offs (like Gripper, Grabber, Splasher, Scrambler, Packer and Ella) are still present. Zoomer appears to have his last appearance in Project: Build It currently. There's a segment called Bob's Jobs where a live action child appears on Bob's computer screen and needs help but Gripper and Grabber come in with stuff like rocks, crates, etc. and Bob finds out a safer way to use them. It's unknown if Ready, Steady, Build will be completed. Season 1 aired every day on CBeebies between 12 April to 7 May 2010.
