ahh yes. definitly need to watch out for those. our casters last year was teeny and had trouble getting over even a door ledge. if your space allows, bigger wheels are definitly better. and as for getting through the door, well if you have to take the robot off for it to go through, screw the cart, or shave it down. or if you're really fancy you can go through another door that might be wider too
