Casters should be banned!

Posted by James Jones at 03/22/2001 11:22 AM EST


Engineer on team #267, The Demolition Squad, from North Broward & St Andrews and Motorola.



After watching the Langley and So. Cal. Regionals it has become apparent to me that FIRST could greatly enhance the success of 1st year teams by taking casters off the additional harware list and making them illegal on a robot.

If any of you read my earlier posts you know I am an advocate of loosening the material rules, not tightenning them. But in this case where we all have to depend on other robots to just make it over the ramp and across the stinkin' field, casters should be banned. Caster drive system are a classic rookie team mistake (including me) and are disasterous when there is an inclined surface that must be traversed. The only thing worse than 2 wheel drive with casters in the front is 2 wheel drive with casters in the back!
