And, actually, I’d call these “repurposed” as opposed to recycled…

And technically, hex nuts are not “electronic waste”.

I read the title as “Tiny robot pedants made of repurposed electronic waste” and was confused. Spent way too long trying to visualize what that meant.

I also read it that way. I was excited about the efficiency gains from automating this important area of responsibility.
