I can't tell if they have something to lifts their robot or if their sheetmetal frame is just shaped to pop them up and over. 971 and 254 have a little drop down wheel that launches them over, but I can't remember what 1114 does. Something passive would definitely be nicer.
when i saw 111 at North Star it looked like they lifted there front end allowing them to get there wheels on the bump and then go over smoothly.
