Personally, I'd say you're over complicating things. However, the argument could be made that I am afraid of that design because I don't think I could do it! If you want look at it for a wide bot crossing the barrier, go for it. Try prototyping as best you can first, though. Also, think about what happens if you don't hit it "dead-on." If one corner hits the barrier and starts to rotate the tripod, what'll happen to the other three tripods? I don't know the answer to this, i'm just posing the question to you to think about.
