Re: Can wheels extend past the frame?
Agreed on all fronts...
Your situation is definitely illegal for 2010. Swivel casters on an FRC robot can lead to a lot of headache and heartache anyway. When I was with 103 we had a propensity to use them and had some negative results. They have since gone with ball casters on a few robots with MUCH better results. McMaster sells them for sure, but you might want to consult the teams that have used them to help with your selections.
