What's this about a bump under the overpass? Is there something I missed?

This is what you evidently missed:

6.2.3 The LANE DIVIDER
The TRACK is divided by a LANE DIVIDER that extends along the major axis of the TRACK. The
LANE DIVIDER is six feet tall and approximately 27 feet long. It is constructed of 1-1/2 inch O.D.
steel pipe and connecting hardware, forming railing panels. The openings in the railing panels are
filled with clear plastic to prevent portions of ROBOTS from inadvertently passing through the
structure. The LANE DIVIDER is attached to vertical posts that are anchored to supporting plates
covered by carpet. Note that these plates will create a bump in the carpet approximately 1/2 inch
tall, and as a result the surface of the TRACK will not be perfectly flat. ROBOTS must be designed
to accommodate these surface variations. The LANE DIVIDER is attached to the floor such that it
should remain vertical and not move when struck by ROBOTS.
