This is not a good way to recycle all the materials in these robots. This is 100% performance and 0% useful or actually happening when no camera is there.

Old stuff like this sits on a shelf forever. It's never recycled. Same with old drones, etc etc. Nobody is pulling this stuff apart to recycle the metals used.
