Barrier Traversal-Who's Going For It?

We were going to, however in our recent design and strategy meeting we deemed it not important for our strategies.

EDIT: I just had to: "I used to want to go over the bump, but then I took a new idea to the head".

We're going for traversing the barrier with ease. We just proved a concept, making it fairly easy to cross it with our 6 wheel drive.

We encountered more difficulties than expected and decided to focus on the bridge first, since the bridge is worth points after all.

Out of curiosity, what kind of device did you use? Skid plate, raised idler, etc.

We used a very simple design. Put a piece of metal in front of the wheels that acted as a slope before the wheels hit. While the back two wheels push, the front of the robot is raised, allowing wheel contact to hit at 2 inches (we have 8 inch wheels). I could make it over with little effort. The design is far from finished, but it shows great chance for success.

Our team deemed going over the bump crucial to our strategy. However, we are still are able to use the bridge with ease. We narrowed our design concepts down to three and prototyped them all; Tank, eight wheel, and mechanum. They all go over the bump, no skid plate.
