Non-powered wheels

Any time you have non-powered wheels (i.e. casters) supporting any of the robot's weight, you are not getting as much power to the carpet as you possibly can. Therefore, if the game requires pushing force to gain an advantage, I would recommend that any surface that touches the carpet should be powered. If power is not an issue, than it doesn't matter much.
