Game Manual - Original Version

Build Season

The Black Knight was able to breach every defense in Stronghold. To accomplish this, it had eight inch pneumatic wheels to overcome the moat, ramparts, rock wall, and rough terrain. To breach the cheval de frise, drawbridge, sally port, and portcullis, it was given an arm to extend out and manipulate the gates. It could also score boulders into the low goal of the tower with a roller intake. While it was never quite realized, the bot’s stretch goal was for an end-game climbing mechanism: a telescoping fishing pole extended out to place a hook with tow straps and be winched up.
