Re: Category A Crossing?

I'm with Kevin. A single arm that moves up and down in front of the robot from near ground level to the height of all the fixed parts of the robot can push down one panel of the CDF, letting you drive over, and push up the Portcullis, letting you drive under. Details are left as an exercise. (We're still working out details!)

Edit: A skid plate may help on the CdF.
