Zinc Toxicity

You forgot to mention putting small stone in the middle in order to concentrate the condensed water and get it to land in the container more easily.

Mechs run off a large water-powered fusion reactor, but I'm sure the UN will allow the use of enriched unranium power plants in these things, especially when their headquarters surrounded by a full star of 100-ton Assault Mechs.

Not strictly true.
The dense vegetation makes it implausible for the frogs to communicate by hand signals alone. Rather it is thought they use a mix of body language and ultrasonic sound over a short distance in order to communicate.
The Ultrasonic part is only a guess as the middle part of the frogs ear is not air-filled, and the inner part of the ear does not seem to be connected to any outer surface of the frog. This can be tested, but the scientists can't exactly vivisect a critically-endangered animal, so they have to guess.

Hey, that reminds me of somewhere.

Something like that is actually used in hybrid vehicles to regenerate the battery. it's called Regenerative Braking. Using it like you suggest would be like driving with the handbrake on. Also remember that recapturing energy like this is very inefficient, therefore you are better off generating electricity directly from the engine.

RTFA, it's already remote-control capable- via iPhone and a special remote-control model that looks like an action-figure.
