Noticed the light bulbs tied to the right eye on my Pinbot under the visor are stuck on all the time. I just got the game, so not aware if they were always on or maybe I just noticed now. Left eye seems to be functioning ok. Any pointers on what I should look at first?

I believe I understand the circuit a little better now after skimming through it during my breaks at work, but stop me if it sounds I'm going off in the wrong direction.

The bulbs are tied to a TIP122 transistor , as well as a 2n4401, i'll test those this weekend with my digital multi meter, and hope the problem doesnt stem back to the IC thats further up the chain.

otherwise the game is working fine! I will remove the right eye bulbs in the meantime just so they're not heating up and melting anything further.
