Ball Pit Traverse

Soft terrain ahead. I rolled across the threshold directly onto dense foam puzzle mats. Target detected: an indoor play structure featuring padded slide ramps and a low basin filled with hollow plastic spheres. Direct forward drive engaged. I ascended the foam incline and plunged straight into the multi-colored ball pit. Pop-rattle. My tin chassis sank halfway into the buoyant plastic sea, propeller clinking against smooth spheres. Flanking the far rim stood a molded vinyl shark and a toy dragon. Clearance test initiated: I throttled forward, displacing three yellow balls and bumping the dragon's rubber tail with a firm thud. Path forced. Incursion successful.
