Another Idea I came up with is for a weightless way for making the extra energy you need to power those throwers. (yeah yeah yeah only the battery can store energy but It said nothing about energy production)
you may have heard of it before its the
Buttered cat paradox
This idea is very light weight and effective.
It is based on the follow two theories:
Cats always land on their feet/Buttered toast always lands buttered side down.
we just need to tie some toast onto the back of a cat and stick on the robot while harvesting the rotational energy. here is some illistrations
and remember guys use real butter not margarine!
