Go to Post Yeah After we decided not to do autonomous, the robot took matters into it's own hand. i'd bet it would get it's self DQ'd... or an award. - GMKlenklen [more]

why no castors

I hate casters! we had bad experiences with them our rookie year two years ago, they were unreliable to get th e robot going in the direction you told it to, because the would swivel into place before driving, causing the robot to swerve uncontrollably, so I would be against any casters, unless their lateral friction in smoother than glass, because they will effect the turning performance of your robot!
