Many people in this thread have pointed out some of the good ideas that came from 2012. I would recommend looking into the different designs used in Rebound Rumble for crossing the bump and analyzing their effectiveness.

In these kinds of exercises, it is important to not narrow down the design choices too quickly. There are many ways of crossing a barrier, and making sure you consider many options, not just two, will help you in this and any brainstorming/design process. For this task, I would encourage you to think about the problem a little more broadly. Brainstorm many different ideas, discuss them, research them, and prototype them if you have the resources. A lot of the teams that were able to cross the barrier effectively had many ideas at the start, analyzing and testing each idea until they came to a solution.
