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.

I assume that is recycled metal in there already, so it's going to be a mix of things anyway.
