Thanks for the idea! Just tried that out, and at speed it could make it over, but moving slowly it gets stuck every time. I got a video of it with colsons down, but it can do it with mecanums down (it just gets stuck much more often.) As Alex said, we are contemplating a few different ways to raise the clearance. I will edit in the video when I get home.

EDIT: Here is one test. Here is another. Both of these videos are with traction wheels down. I didn't get video of it going over with mecanums, but it works, just less consistently.
