Thanks for the input. We are thinking the extra weight will help but are worried about the "real" radiused metal bump. The bump being an extra 2" wide should not be a problem though as the opening in the middle of the robot is 21". The bot will have a nice ramp lowering device but we wanted to make sure it goes over the bump just in case.
We had quit a few folks say that it would not go over and some who thought it too dangerous (including me) but those super-duty mecanums from AM are really tough and the angled front edge helps - so much for the common "mecanums can't go over the bump" theory!
