It will go over it.

With our 6WD, the front wheel makes contact before any other part. Thus putting up on top of the "plateau". The back wheel is also now in contact with the ground. As the robot continues over, the middle wheel hops up, front and back wheels now off the ground. The robot continues forward (center wheel is driving), front wheels back on teh ground, back wheels on the plateau.

Also, the lip has a bit of a "fillet" to it if you will. Tape gives as pseudo ramp up to the height of whatever 1/2" or 3/4" as you claimed.
