What about a ball caster? They reduce the movement that a normal caster has. Page 1224 of Mcmaster Carr is a threaded stem ball caster.

Team 108 used them back in 2005, I didn't like them too much because that robot was used on the field as well as outside to do programming. All the sand and stuff from the carpet got stuck with the ball and later on the ball started to get jammed. Mike, I thought you knew me better, I don't like to use casters.
