It actually got stuck in the moat because the far side of the frame fell off the side of the field element! That's why Charles picks it up and moves it to the middle.

There will be some lovely footage of it flying over the moat Dukes of Hazzard-style in the reveal video or uploaded afterwards!

Here's the testing video of the moat
