Re: Effectiveness of Casters

We used castors our rookie year and had less qualifing points than a robot that didn't even move... they are awful. just imagine pushing a 130lb shopping cart at the supermarket. those castors are also tempermental and jam easily. if anyone on you team still likes castors, then take them to pathmark and you jump in a cart and tell them to push you for 2 minutes, and see how much excess energy it takes.
