Good job to you!

The only problem I can see is: casters. Over here, caster robots are a) hard to control, and b) have very little push power. If you have weight to spare, try using the Kit wheels in front (and power them if you are reallyunderweight) Or, get some Teflon and make skids at the competition. Skids do not have the casters' tendency to resist the steering of the drive. (If you've done any drive practice, you'll see what I mean.)

But on the whole, good robot, and good luck!
