Re: popdown casters

Here's my suggestion. use a relatively long piece of aluminum with a piece of teflon on the bottom and just use one piston in the middle of the robot. I think it'll work better. You won't have to worry about getting two casters parallel. You don't have to worry about the casters coming down facing the wrong direction. I think it'll be easier over all.
