Actually, the kitbot does not roll over the bump with "ease". The tough-boxes bottom out on the top of the bump, and unless you are moving with speed you will get stuck there.

I’ve confirmed this both in CAD and testing.

Of course you can mount the T-boxes on top of the frame, and solve this problem.

Interesting design feature AM...
