Re: Effectiveness of Casters
although It's possible one could make a casterbot that worked reasonably well, I can tell you from experience that looking for a 2 wheel 2 caster drive train is in general the easiest way to pick out the inexperienced teams from the crowd. The casterbots that manage to retain even a mediocre level of competitiveness are few and far between.
4 wheel drive works fine. 6 wheel drive works better still.
In short, avoid casters AT ALL COSTS. They will be your downfall.
