Shortening "the whole thing" doesn't make sense to me. Realize that you are putting bumpers on this robot that go over top of the frame perimeter. At the start of the match, nothing can be across the frame perimeter. I assume if you wanted to put a superstructure above the wedges that would the bumpers would bolt into, it could work.

Alternatively, you buy or machine wheels with a radius greater than the height of the barrier and drop the wedge idea.
