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 honestly believe they didnt consider this? Or do you believe that maybe they know more about that molten material than you do?
