As a robot inspector, if you were at any of the regionals I will be inspecting, I would not let this pass inspection.

It's dangerous, technically a hazardous material, and has potential for leakage or spilling, thus causing damage to the field or other robots.

Please look into some of the solutions that other people have been posting, they are much more reasonable and will allow you to pass inspection
