Re: How are you getting over the 4" bump?
Pretty much, the chassis and bumpers should be high enough so the robot doesn't get completely stuck. Your wheels should be large enough in diameter as well (8" + is good)and/or you can add a skid plate or casters to lift up and push the front over. Your CG should be low to avoid tipping over while crossing.
