Re: "Three Wheeler"
Robots of this type tend to be more stable with the driven wheels in the back due to the center of gravity shifting to the rear while it is being powered. That being said, we used shopping-cart style "caster steering" in 2013 and do not recommend it in any way whatsoever. Unless you have the programming and sensor implementation skills to back it up, it will be very unstable to drive.
