Re: Casters vs. Unpowered Omni wheels

GUS' very first year we used casters, they worked for us, sort of. I do remember the robot did a very good job of not going straight, that might not have been the casters though. There were a few problems with turning, sometimes the casters would turn a way they shouldn't, but it would always push through.
