Interesting to see the responses...has anyone actually built the drawbridge or sally port yet?

Re: Gotcha! That defense was nastier than I thought...

A couple of things to look at on a real field. First is the rough terrain. It is a lot rougher in real life than in wood. The sally port has the nuts that hold the skin to the frame sticking out at just around 7" FIRST has shortened the bolts from what is in the drawings, but the nuts might be tough on bumpers. Also the Port Cullis will react much different on the field than the plywood team build do, due to the materials used in the movements not being wood. In all cases the steel edges are going to act different that the wood edges on everything.
