I've seen pillow blocks, but my team has gone through the frame with an axle the past three years. I can't remember if we used bearings in our pillow blocks before then or not.

Edit: We used bearings on our 2004 robot, but we had some odd-shaped pillow blocks that year, and I can't remember how we mounted our front wheels. Can't find clear enough pictures of previous robots on CD to make the call there.
