Interferes with the solid state electronics in the robot.

So build one with tubes. Or 'valves' as the foreigners say.

If a 6 core Intel I7 has something like 1.1 billion discrete elements i.e., transistors. 1 transitor = 1 tube (or valve).

Built from tubes the robot would likely be as big as a small moon & generate the heat of a blast furnace.
