Zusammenfassung:Described herein is a wheel system configured to smoothly pass over obstacles and uneven surfaces. The wheel system comprises a plurality of wheels of different diameters coupled to a rotating arm that allows a leading wheel and a trailing wheel to pivot about a central axle in response to impact with obstacles. The wheel system absorbs shock and minimizes wheel interactions with obstacles. Utilizing multiple wheels with different diameters and a rotatable central axle provides the wheel system with a smooth-rolling benefit in a compact design.
