cross the Barrier

[yara92]

What we should do if we are a rocky member and we did not access to use Mecanum wheels 8" to across the barrier and we need to know other ideas of across the barrier?

You can try skid plates (an angle that serves as a wedge before your front wheels are contacted) or perhaps another set of idler wheels set higher.

Pneumatic tires are good shock absorbers.

you could use some form of skii's and use more wheels to reduce the gap like were gonna use 4 on each side instead of 3.

How about a whole row of small wheels all along the frame? We're not going to do that, but with enough momentum and 4-wheels driven, it should just sail over the rail. The little wheels in the middle should be 3.5" from the floor for maximum effect. Maybe a two-wheel lead in at the front with two sizes would be more effective than a skid. We might even actually try that. Roller blade wheels as the second wheel maybe?

Just remember, free advice is likely to be worth just what you paid for it.
