Go to Post Ultrasonic sensors will allow you to do fundamentally the same thing that the bump sensors do...so you can slow down and smoothly stop your robot just before it reaches the end wall, instead of running into it at full speed and then figuring out "ohh! there is a wall there!" - dlavery [more]

If it's not against the rules, it might be worth it to adapt tools as wheels. Considering you are supporting 50 pounds per wheel, mayhaps some sort of metal spike system is in order, that would dig into the wood itself. Or perhaps, if you were to get four of those drill bits for drilling really big holes in wood, or even just four hefty masonry bits, and mount them on an angle to the ground, that would provide best traction.

Think outside the box. Don't be afraid to cut the wood if it's not against the rules.
