    Unless I’m thinking of something else, I’m pretty sure I had a tank tread “robot” set with a module that you could program really commands into, and then have them execute them in series.

    Go forward, turn right move backward twice, make a bunch of funny sounds and blink some lights, etc.

    That set was cool as shit.



















  • Check the bottom of the bollard, it looks visible damaged where it meets the ground, like it had bent backwards towards the camera.

    I think the OP is right. It wouldn’t need elasticity; it got bent down just far enough for the back end of the car to ride up on it, then when they pulled forward it dragged the bollard upright, at which point it punched through the floor.

    My guess is the metal had begun to rust where it meets the ground, and then some freeze thaw cycles crumbled the concrete, leaving it weak right where it meets the ground.
