So a fully articulating chassis is not allowed - it would change the polygon that defines your FRAME PERIMETER whenever it bends.

You could have a suspension system with your wheels to accomplish the same thing, however.
What about keeping the frame fixed but putting the wheels on some sort of gimble to keep in contact with the floor/hump?? Take a look the spirit and opportunity robots and see how that suspension floats over the terrain..
