If I were you, I'd build a short section of "real" barrier, put it on carpet, and try it. You might find that it's a bit harder on the robot than it looks in the video with the 4x4.
normal, so not quite 4" tall - we are quite worried about a "real" barrier and are looking to build one, the 4x4 test was kind of impromptu - the bot has did well so hopefully things go well with the real barrier

how are teams building a real barrier?
