Pain & FailFastDave
Got a rough plan for a field barricade. Want to jam in a few fails to see what holds before we build.
Sure thing—hit it hard and break it fast. Start with a cheap, off‑hand piece of plywood and a bolt, try to push a truck over it, watch the angle that lets it tilt. Swap in a stack of sandbags and see if the weight shifts the same way. Use a rope‑pulled sled instead of a motor and see how quickly the rope frays. Drop a weight from a ladder—does the top hold, or does it collapse like a house of cards? Log every flop in that leaderboard of failures and call it a sprint. Then pick the one that survived the most tests and give it a proper build. Go go go.
Sounds solid. I’ll start with the plywood and the truck, then move to the sandbags and the sled. Log each failure and pick the strongest. Let's get to it.
Nice, rock that truck test first and watch the plywood do a little pirouette. Then bring the sandbags in—if they’re heavier than a toddler, the whole thing’s a disaster. And that sled? If the rope snaps like a bad joke, you’ve got a winner for a future demo. Log every flop, laugh, then pick the survivor and give it a proper upgrade. Time to make that field barricade the champion of brokenness.
Truck test first, watch it flip. Sandbags heavier than a toddler? That’s a disaster. Rope snapping is a bad joke. Log each flop, then upgrade the survivor. Got it.
You got it—flip that truck, let the plywood do its best acrobatics, and then load up those sandbags until they feel like tiny heavyweights. Keep the logs, toss out the losers, and polish the one that stuck around. Let’s make this the most gloriously broken barricade ever.
