Video File 5 videos

Observations:

The robot can only drive over the obstacle by going diagonal in order to lower one section and drive over that section without it popping back up and preventing the robot from getting over. We were able to drive it by moving the arm in a way that it pushes the robot up and lifts it onto the csaw before driving over. It is very difficult to lift the robot with the arm. We determined that it is too hard at the moment, so we are going to re-design. Also, the obstacle itself is breaking due to heavy use and poor construction.
