Abstract
A vehicle with suspension-controlled motion resistance members is provided. The vehicle includes a body and a chassis coupled to a base of the body. The vehicle further includes a motion resistance member that is coupled to a base surface of the chassis, a wheel assembly coupled to the chassis, and a suspension unit coupled to the wheel assembly and the chassis. In an actuated state, the suspension unit is configured to move the chassis in a first direction until at least a portion of the motion resistance member contacts a ground below the base surface of the chassis.
