The final cruiser swore allegiance to the god emperor & chief.

A test drive didn't reveal any problems.  The phone got better radio reception than the 30 year old FM banger.

The 8 year old glow stick barely lit up.  Either it expired or lion vision has deteriorated too much to see anything since using those as a kid.

The fireworks were pretty minimal.  It was an overcrowded street with limited visibility & humans who were too busy yelling at each other to notice their god emperor.  It was a pretty awful place for a fireworks show.  The speaker wasn't needed, since they had barely audible music & the radio station didn't seem to be broadcasting the soundtrack, anymore.  The FM banger came in a lot better in downtown.  Then, during the 1 mile drive from the show, the $60 steering servo died.  The metal gear came undone from its servo horn.  

This part never got threadlock because of its tendency to crack plastic.  The next idea was to threadlock just a bolt in the metal gear, let it dry, then install the servo horn.  This is why you should never overhaul less than 50 miles before an important mission.

Also, the shoelace strap got ground up a lot faster than last time.  Glued another shoelace around it, but a way to bind a wider strap to this conical section must be found.  Kevlar rope is increasingly tempting.
