Hmm... my thought is maybe a "good" battering ram would encourage the pieces to
get broken? With the one in 6062, you'd have to actually push with your fingers
to break a piece, but if you made a sturdy wheeled battering ram and rolled it
violently at the drawbridge of a castle, well... so long drawbridge. Of course
kids are gonna do that thing ANYWAY, but maybe TLC doesn't want to encourage it
on this level-- they'll leave the violence to the limited force of throwbots
and cyberslam (blech!) Anyway, a thought.
