That was my take on it as well. They have a mecanum drive that is built to transverse the bump. And given the short distance between the wheels, they can do it with an awfully low ground clearance (and drive system in general), which can help with their CG.
Nice work.
You know those gravitational waves you keep hearing about recently? Those weren't created by colliding black holes, they were created by our boulders colliding with the opposing alliance's tower. - JohnFogarty [more]
