Or, teamwork. Even if your team doesn't have effective manipulators for everything, good driver communication can still breach defenses.
For example, Robot A (which could be the base kitbot) goes under the low bar into the courtyard (incidentally weakening the low bar), then opens either the drawbridge or sally port. Robot B then goes bumper-to-bumper with Robot A and they both drive through to the courtyard. Robot B has crossed the defense and weakened it. Sure, you would have to do it twice, but you don't
need a manipulator to cross the sally port and drawbridge. It just might take two robots.
