Looks like about an 1" of ground clearance. And I believe those slides on the front edge of the chassis (im guessing teflon, Delrin, or HDPE) allow them to go over the barrier, FRC2168 is doing something similar this year.

We are powering the wheels Via belt and pulley, similar to a west coast in some respects. It runs inside of the 2 C channels that make up one side of our drivetrain. The wheels are our custom 4".

Those are nice looking wheels, where did you get that black tread??
