Re: [FTC]: Caster?

A castor with just a fixed vertical pin and no pancake bearing being integrated with it should be legal.
If you can then fit the pin into another component that provides a slip fitting swivel socket in which the pin can rotate you can still get castor functionality from combining two separate, single DOF items.
