Re: Any pictures for Centered 2-Wheel Drive?

I think this would be a problem with most drives of this type, because you need to guard against high centering as much as possible, and this would make you rather tippy. So I'm slightly doubting the wisdom of this choice since FIRST seems to have a penchant for non-flat playing fields lately.
Isn't is possible to put the casters on springs to always keep the wheels even?
