McMaster-Carr.
As for the metal on carpet, this is an off-season project so it doesn't necessarily have to comply with FIRST rules, although you perfectly right to bring that up, since this project is basically practice for the upcoming season.

Install them once and never touch them again (even over parades and demos on asphalt). You do take a bit of a weight penalty, but in my mind it was worth it for the zero-maintenance aspect.

Interesting. By any chance do you have a link to the specific ones you use?
