The biggest reason is we wanted to use 4in casters and 6in Mecanums. The cylinders we used should be plenty enough to lift even a fully weighted robot, since the boar on each is 1.5" with a 1" stroke, and there are 4 of them. Aslo, we wanted the casters to be the default wheel if something failed. The two wheels can easily be switched around, if we wanted to run 6in casters and 4in mecanums; depends on the game really.
