I believe you meant the F-117, a small diamond shaped, stealth bomber with no conventional tail developed in the 80's, not the F-111, a large swingwing conventional bomber from the 60's and 70's.

Regardless, I agree with Gary, castors will always align with one direction and this requires them to turn and through your robot off course. A feedback system could align it in the end, but it will take time and the robot wont be in the same place you expected it.
