Possibly, but I'll bet it's too coarse to get into things. Middle-east environments are likely to be well within the operating requirements for any military-hardened versions. So think: dust, dirt, dry clay, and sand.
Diatomaceous earth, and any super-fine starch that can absorb lubricants would be my best bet here. A very, very finely pulverized sand or glass might also do the job. It might also be worthwhile to see what solvents and chemicals can penetrate sealed bearings, eat wire insulation, and corrode water-resistant alloys. Heh, maybe just a jar of brake cleaner would work.

Military shit breaks constantly. The army and navy are choke full of technicians working round the clock to maintain and repair all the high end machines we have doing our dirty work.
That some of these abominations of engineering work at all is a minor miracle. Military contractors are notorious for turning out hardware that falls apart on delivery, weighs too much to operate, and sucks up fuel like a sponge.
Don't underestimate sand. It's course, rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere!
Just get some nitric acid, problem solved.
Light weight means aluminum and aluminum, probably keep some galium on hand for debuff.

I'm sorry but I'm betraying y'all for robo doggie.
Why wouldn't you have a bigger better cleaner meaner robot?
I'm too small and poor to make a robot the bigger robots will eat me
Holy shit we're so close to IPS-N Lancaster existing

It totally already exists. All those things are there to make you think they don't exist yet.
Next phase are those Geck robots from metal gear solid 4.
Why not use them to build a desalination plant?
Bcs that's not how you maintain power, just how you maintain supply.
Supply/scarcity isn't the issue. It's that the bots aren't owned by 'the people' who coincidentally desperately need drinking water. Increasing supply just makes them less desperate, which is bad for fair negotiations.
Paywalling drinking water is a business investment for private gain.
Why doesn't the larger class simply eat the smaller one?
Idk.
I really don't.
(To add the obvious context: severe dwindling of drinking water supply in some countries around the world will happen due to climate change. Migrations in those cases are the obvious consequences since we won't build them desalination plants.)
