Casters are the worst thing to use for a driving component of a robot. Use tank drive, it is more effective and very easy to build.
Basically, attach a motor to a chain that is connected to the wheels on the left side of your robot, and then connect an identical motor to a chain connected to the wheels on the right side of your robot. Very easy, I am sure there is a whitepaper somewhere with more detail =)
