        lab and a servo is attached.

             the servo.
          4. If the DUT can be power-cycled via RPM, try to repair
             by power-cycling.

        As with the parent method, the last operation performed on

        server, as the only use case currently is goofy, which is tied to
        the factory image. It is much easier to handle a failed xmlrpc
        call on the client than it is to terminate goofy in this scenario,
