Bench
The gridband 1: no pole yet
Each dot marks a position where a pole of the selected weight can be placed. Press a dot to place a pole there, and the band is extended to it. Press a pole that the band has not reached to route the band to it. Press a pole that the band already passes to change the direction it passes in: clockwise, anticlockwise or, at either end of an open band, ending on the pole. Drag a pole to move it. It stays on the grid.

poles are lettered in the order they are listed. A band is given by its route around the poles: + passes a pole clockwise, - passes it anticlockwise, and . ends
on it.
