The bump in the middle is not going to be a factor if the base of your robot is over 4 inches. If the base in general, or any part of the robot for that matter (except the wheels) is above 4 inches, it can not physically touch the bump. If a robot is over the bump, and the base is 5 in. then there will be an inch of space between the bot and the bump.
