I Really Ought to Clean That Searchlight

Having finally engineered a fix for the terrible static in the last shipment of cameras, I was dismayed to find the same symptoms in the new fancy search lights. So like a good engineer, I got out some random tools, pried some covers off (oh whoops, were those screwed on?), and started looking for a fix. After a while, where I was constantly side tracked by trying to convince the assembler to produce duck tape. Seriously. Duck tape. It fixes everything. Or maybe some WD-40? One of those has to make this better, right? Anyway. At this point the pile of parts had grown in size to resemble a large grizzly. I'm not really sure where the extras came from, but I'm sure my friend wont miss what he doesn't know his rover no longer has. All that said, and it turns out that I just had to peel the protective plastic film off the front.

Oops.

Anyway, I think I got most of it back together? It keeps alternating demands to feed it construction components and threats to destroy all of the known universe. But I figure since it doesn't have any legs it's not really a big deal. And having an aim-able light/camera combo sure is handy.

Just, you know, maybe don't feed it. Just in case.
