we did 4 inch wheels to keep our CoG low and ten wheels to make barrier crossing easier. even though we designed to cross the bump we prefer the ramp because the bump is a little rough on the robot, and so far we haven't experienced any bottlenecks at the ramps. So we'll probably not be crossing the bump except as a last resort.
