Re: Bouncing turns

Last year we put casters on pneumatic cyclinder on back to lift the back wheels barely off the ground. This year we fully inflate the tires and just deal with it. There are several good solution to this including completely inflating tires and changing a set of tires so that they will slide sideways but still drive forward. Omni-wheels of sorts (not really, unless you can make them quick) But something that has less contact with the ground but still can grip forwards.
