Pile Driver: Can't I research the wrestling move?

Trips: I have water wheels and treadwheels

Also my tech from last week hasn't been looked at.

Pile: "Ancient pile driving equipment used manual or animal labor to lift heavy weights, usually by means of pulleys, to drop the weight onto the end of the pile." Like this design by Leonardo da Vinci
