Yeah, the idea is to a) go over the bump, and b) make traversing the bridge even easier. We were trying to figure out a way to have both a wide configuration and something that can go over the bump. We looked at several variations and this is the one that made us cringe the least. All the other options seemed to have a fairly high risk of the robot tipping over, and/or something breaking from "re-entry", and/or seemed like they'd take a long time to traverse the bump (negating the whole reason for avoiding the bridges).

I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is: are we over complicating things, or will something like this give us a meaningful advantage?
