Re: The Barrier Thread

The last time I saw a mobility obstacle like this was in '04, I believe it was, when robots had to climb a couple of stairs to get up on to a central platform.

There were a number of ingenious solutions including some very nice treaded robots and the occasional one with some pneumatically activated "helper wheels" that would come down and lift the main wheels up on to the step.

But I agree that suspensions might be useful to have, too. I think that might be my first place to look.
