It crosses the defenses rather easily. We can mostly crawl over them - don't need to ram and fly over. The single wheel end is a swerve module - we use that to aim. When on the batter, we turn it sideways to use as a park brake. It will drive over one or two boulders easily (it will get stuck if we try to drive over three boulders.)
