Episode Goofs
Robots can't be so indestructible they can't be shut down. Shutting machines down means turning off the power, not destroying it.
On the handheld device Sheen has in the beginning of the episode, it says "Ultra-Lord Demolition!" But when Jimmy asks him to play baseball he says he is playing "Ultra-Lord vs. Robo-Fiend!"
To retrieve Thomas Edison from the past all Jimmy typed on his Time Booth was Menlo Park, 1899. He didn't type any specific date or anything so why didn’t any other people who passed in Menlo, Park during that year come as well.
If the Jukebox in the Candy bar stopped working and disappeared how comes the roller coaster that Carl and Sheen were on just stopped working.
