If they are using the CDF setup that we had to add on to ours at Arizona West in Week 6, I want to meet the robot that can break them without breaking the base. It was a steel plate added along the full length of the bottom of the panel. I just barely missed dropping them on my feet when I *tried* to pick up the box when I didn't know what was inside and was opening my FTA presents from HQ. I still can't believe that FedEx actually shipped them in one box, they were so heavy.

I got lucky this year. Four events with zero CDF/Portcullis breakage as far as I know. One drawbridge panel that didn't look so healthy, but was fine for practice field use.
