Re: Caster Mechanism

my old team 312 had a castor mechanism that that started out being driven by the window motor, but in the end was pnuematically driven, because it was much simpler

you can also see the optical sensors attached to it that we used during auto mode.
i believe that SPAM (180) had a similar device last year, and that Wildstang (111) used a retractable skid plate
