An idea how to get over barrier and tilt the bridge in one

[icetalker]

My team having dismissed all my ideas I feel the need to get some verification whether they're actually worthless.

I only have the picture left, my CAD got corrupted(i got .dwg though)

You hit the bump, the inertia and additional acceleration push the top wheel down giving you more grip, etc to get over the barrier efficiently. These should be mounted upwards in the robot. The spring keeps the assembly in upwards position under normal circumstances.

To get over the bridges, you mount these without the bumper in front and you attach a system that allows you to manually tilt the assembly. You get close to the bridge, start tilting the assembly down, the bridge gets tilted and you drive on.

The picture attached is just a simple mock up. A couple of things are messed up on it but I think you get the idea. Please let me know what you think.
