Maybe we can use growable material to make the roof. When a part is missing, it will automatically grow and be fixed.

Efficiency: A more advanced project will have only one backup piece and automatically move there when it detects the roof broken.

cant use cardboard bc it's burning in the laser cutter. We have to switch to wood
