that's what the prototype is for - you can use whatever materials you want on it (even those from an unapproved supplier) - jump into the future and buy a cold fusion conversion kit from an approved supplier (after all, they'd clearly be willing tosell to any first team that wanted to purchase from them). Then you can just burn up a battery to power the robot..

After all, the rule states that all your power come from the 12V battery, but it doesn't say *how* you extract energy from it.
