Should they swivel?

I don't know if your leader has been to a normal competition. For a cart, you can expect concrete or gym floors (depending on venue), not carpet (as only the field area and practice field can be expected to have carpet). You can also expect to go over at least one cable run via its ramped cover.

Again for a cart (you could be asking about either cart or robot--your post is kind of unclear), I would make one end swivel and one end not. Maneuvering is a tad easier that way.

If you're asking about robot, that's a whole 'nother ball game.
