This design does require extra weight, with an extra gearbox, wheel, and support, because you need a center wheel on both ends of the robot but as a team with less build capabilities we found it to be easier to implement than a suspension.
Am I missing anything with this?

This was our thinking. Though we are concerned with all 3 wheels being in contact with the ground at all times. So perhaps still having a passive system that provides some force downward on the slide wheels, but has enough travel to be compressed if need be over the platform? We still need to figure out how to mount these the kit chassis. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.
