Worst you've seen to the Defenses?

[ctt956]

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.

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?
