Back when I was in the service we had to deal with the CIWS/Vulcan cannon. Looks like R2-D2 being very happy to see a fembot:

Once a year, thing had to be stripped completely down; cleaned; lubed; and rebuilt. Had a tech who was lightning fast at doing it, and the dude didn't need a manual or any reference materials. However, every time he did one there would be something left over. A washer, usually...sometimes a pin, or something else of equivalent size and sensitivity. The units he rebuilt always worked flawlessly, but it did get increasingly disconcerting...
 
Let's feast our eyes on this wonderful v12, a masterpiece conceived by Mauro Forghieri in 1970.
This is the historic and iconic Ferrari, designed for Ferrari's Formula 1 racing team. Referred to as “flat”, it was known for its distinctive 60-degree angle between the cylinder seats. This engine has been developed to deliver exceptional power and performance on the track. The 12-cylinder engine had a 3.0-liter cylinder and was designed to achieve a balance of power, reliability and precision. He played a key role in Ferrari’s success in motorsport in the early 1970s, helping the team compete at the highest levels in racing.
