I hope you didn't forget to mention that wood is an allowable material and you're allowed to use springs to store energy.

YES, in NYC we are resourceful!
And any material found in a construction disposal bin is good construction material!

Hint from a Professional Collector:
Scouting for and collecting these valuable raw material is best in the spring and fall season. Summer is too hot and smelly.
I favor alumn. tubing from broken lawn chairs, old lady's grocery carts and old baby carriages. (wheels baby!)
I can't never pass up a broken lawn mower or a vacuum cleaner.

Yeah, I don't think the rules specifically state that we must use a battery. Just have a really, really powerful spring.

Can the robot controller be adapted to run from steam power?

This is quite a bit of a tangent but I just wanted to point out that the Amish (specifically, the Old Order Amish; the Beechie Amish will drive cars) have no problem with electricity per se. They do have a problem with relying on an outside source for something. This is why you'll see some Amish have windmills that power electric generators. However, rubber tires are right out.

I bring this up as I have some Amish heritage (my grandfather was born Amish).
