Re: Passing a barrier

We used what we called pop-up pistons that year. We built our normal drivetrain, and then added two pistons that drove free-spinning wheels. When we fired the pistons, they pushed up the front of the robot. We also had an angled front of the frame, which would hit the bump and then slide over. We did not have trouble crossing the bump.
