Mixed bag. The middle wheel helps with respect to turning on the flat floor but it makes crossing the barrier a bit more exciting (read, tippy).

You pays your money and you picks your poison...

Re: SO...alternative to ramps...

Thumbs up Re: SO...alternative to ramps...

four wheels can cross the barrier if you allow ffor a skid plate between wheels to prevent it from getting stucck in the middle. also motors should be mounted to the top of the frame.
