I added a feature to a low bar once. After some robots knocked the pipe out of a practice low bar, I tried to repair it by stapling the fabric back together over he pipe. I needed something solid behind the fabric so the staple gun would work properly. I came across two scrap wood blocks, one of which I set the pipe on so it didn't pull the fabric down, and the other I held behind the staple gun. The staples went farther than expected, and bound the wood block to the low bar. I ended up using zip ties.

5607 almost crossed the Cheval de Frise, then decided that following a destructive robot wasn't the best idea. Red robot(435?) in the secret passage was about to go back to the courtyard, then decided, "I think we'll stay out of their way..."

What was that portcullis made of? Did a wooden robot break a wooden defense?

Looks both entertaining and slightly terrifying. Will there be a webcast?
