Re: Effectiveness of Casters

When our team used casters on past robots, it worked well. We went in straight lines and didn't have any problems with them. I think the wobbly factor that some of you are talking about is maybe because there is not enough weight on the castor or it is not parallel to the ground. If you are going to go up the steps, then i wouldn't suggest casters, go with 4-6 wheel drive for that
