This particular Crossing method will only net you one Crossing, thus one "hit" to the Defense.
Conversely, if you had all 3 alliance members cross at once you could eliminate that defense altogether in one go.


Personally I buy the argument that a mechanism could be created for both Category A defenses, I do not see, however, given the available expansion space and geometry of the Category A and C defenses how you could also open the Category C defenses without a second mechanism or some secondary actuation on the first mechanism.

IMO, since Category A is the only set of defenses that cannot be defeated by robot that can only drive, so prioritize mechanisms for those defenses first and if you have the extra weight after you're done, add something for Category C, otherwise just work with your alliance partners.
