The caster is held from falling out of the robot is the snap ring groove above the timing pulley. (The groove is hard to see in this render)
I'll look into the reliability of the banebots. Thanks for the heads up.
I think this could be modified to make a great shifting design. I might CAD one up next time I get a notable block of free time.
Ah, so that's how it's held. Very interesting.
