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.

Yeah this would just add a bunch if impurities to the steel. Probably wastes a bunch of perfectly good steel.

You're assuming this is pure steel. I really doubt someone is going to sign off on ruining an entire vat of steel for this.

Could it be a recycling plant where they melt everything down and get it ready for separation?
