Maybe it's a mandatory burden each robot must bear? Dave, are you there?
A 1000 cubic inch, 30 pound burden might make a very interesting design constraint.
Especially if it had to be used on the robot without any modification, exactly as received in the KoP.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
