Maybe I am just a cranky curmudgeon, but exactly how much petroleum and petroleum byproducts are used to manufacture this and how much energy is required to operate it? What a monumentally stupid product! Lets just set the earth on fire and be done with it…..

Ok you might be able to save time ,but how much time? A minute or two ? You have spent some time and money on building a device like this just to save a few minutes? Why not focus on clean energy solutions, rather than a robot which might not turn out to be so reliable.

This robot isn’t limited to gasoline/diesel fuel. It could be used for any fuel-based system.

Hydrogen is a much more likely candidate as an alternative fuel source than heavy, expensive batteries.

Hydrogen can power internal combustion vehicles or fuel-cell vehicles. Instead of “hybrid vehicles”, we could be using a hybrid fuel.
