Cantilevered wheels will, in our opinion, be as easy to change as any other system. They also give us a wider trackwidth for turning. It will also be easier to work with the AM shifter like this, because we won't have to figure out a work-around for the wheel offset caused by the output sprockets. We are also considering belt over chain, so we are going with this design to avoid having to bolt pulleys to our wheels.

Bumpers will go on a lightweight frame above the wheels.

We are using another way to get the wheels over the bump, so we aren't concerned about the frame lowness. We've already tested the idea out and are confident in the drivetrain's ability to mount the bump.
