I do. I also remember quite a few shattered covers from the lights in 2003--you know, the ones that screwed onto the base instead of being velcroed to the frame. I seem to recall that 236 broke quite a few going under the 14" bar in Galileo. 330 didn't break any that way, something about not going under the bar much in the first place and when they did, the light would retract into the robot and pop right back up.
