Cut each antenna to expose a neuron-lined tube. Insert the middle wire one millimeter into the left tube, and the right wire into the right tube. Superglue both wires into place. CONNECT AND COMMAND Hot-glue the circuit board onto the roach's back and plug it into the head connector. After the roach wakes up, press the remote's left button to urge it right, and the right button to move it left. The cyborg will ignore commands after a few minutes. Peel off the circuit board and clip all wires to ensure a long retirement.
