Please don't top-post.  Put your comments after the part you're
 quoting,  and delete anything you're not responding to, which
 would certainly be anything following your message.
 

There's another flaw in your call to super.  You had :


 class Cylinder(Obstacle):
   def __init__(self,position, height, radius):
       super(Obstacle,self).__init__(position)

But it looks to me like the last line should be
        super(Cylinder, self).__init__(position)
