Casters = a big no

Our first year we had a four wheel drive bot that was overweight by about 10 pounds. The only way to drop the weight was to drop two of the wheels. We figured we would be real smart if we simply replaced them with two casters. With the casters driving the robot became more of a chore. Instead of focusing on the game the driver had to focus on just getting the robot to drive straight.

A lesson learned on our team is that all points touching the ground will always be powered.
