True, he's got the technology, but he also needs resources to create with and the organic factor to keep appearances. That's mostly likely the purpose for his companies: they're fronts for his plans to collect raw materials and money for either Badniks or doomsday devices of any sort. Of course, he can use infiltrator robots, but they no doubt would have their limitations. Therefore, a good amount of greedy or likeminded human and animal puppets are most likely needed. I have two major guesses how he gets all the materials he needs for his schemes. I personally believe they are both accurate.

He gets his robots to take what he needs. He doesn't do things by the book, he simply takes. For example mining operations without legal permits, since robots are expendible he doesn't have to worry about health and safety laws other than harm to environment or lives around his operations in which he doesn't give $#!7s about. when it comes to the requirement of equipment he cannot manufacture himself he will either steal it or since he own various subsidiaries himself such as MeteorTech and Eggman Enterprises which perhaps deal with more business matters than criminal.

My other theory is that he recycles BIG TIME! And I don't mean he keeps his plastic bottles or cola cans. Whenever Sonic destroys his robots or machines he will collect what is salvagable and start again. Even if they are broken he can collect parts and melt down the scrap to be used for new robots or machines, that or he has machines he doesn't use again and dissassemble them for parts. For example in Sonic Adventure 2 Dr. Eggman built a back-up Egg Carrier when his first was destroyed, while it appears Egg Carrier 2 sustained heavier damage than the first chances are he was able to use parts from both to make his new Egg Carrier in 2006. (Egg Carrier being my favourate "base" for Eggman next to the Death Egg.)
