the casters are fine on the mesh....we have had no problems with them.

Note on our drive train......at the beginning of the season myself and others were skeptical of casters and the wheel chair wheels but all we needed to do was build the ramp and put the 2001 robot on it and we were very surprised with the results......in short the drive train in our new robot is modeled after the 2001 robot with a few modifications because of motor changes and improving stability.....but overall we have great control on the carpet, ramp, and HDPE

and for all those teams that are skeptical about the wheelchair wheels on the HDPE go test it your self with the ones in the kit...i think you will be surprised also
