The present disclosure relates to a robotic vehicle (810) chassis, comprising a first chassis section (812), a second chassis section (814), a hinge joint (820) connecting the first (812) and second (814) chassis sections such that the first and second chassis sections are capable of rotation with respect to each other in at least a first direction, a spring element (824) extending between the first and second chassis sections, the spring element providing a force that provides an urging force to assist the first and second chassis sections toward a position in which there is a zero degree of rotation between the first and second chassis sections, at least one rotation stop (826, 828) positioned to prevent undesired rotation about the hinge joint (820), a drive wheel (816) mounted to one of the first and second chassis sections, and an omni-wheel (818) mounted to the other of the first and second chassis sections, the omni-wheel (818) being mounted at an angle orthogonal with respect to the drive wheel. The hinge joint (820) rotates in response to the curvature of a surface the vehicle is traversing and is limited in rotation to a set range of degrees by the at least one rotation stop (826, 828).
