I had a thought about this... Why not attach an external power source, and use it to power a lamp mounted right next to the "pipe"? Or, get another pipe, and mount one end of that next to the current pipe, and put the lamp on the other end? Or, if (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
