Useless Robot

Everyone in Greywater is assigned a job, whether it's moving supplies or doing daily oil well inspections or signing up to waste time here like me. But can anyone tell me why that useless, messy robot is working?! I need to spare some of my battery allowance so it can run around and screw up? Why? It could just be turned off and placed in a factory stockpile. If we weren't using its camera, I definitely would have spotted those two thieves who walked in and took some stuff, and then I never would have been fined for neglecting watchman duties! I was definitely paying attention, it's all that stupid robot's fault!
