it looks like thats a caster so when they go up the stairs/platform they dont bottom out

Ok thanks for all of the comments. To answer the first question about the wheels. We are able to turn just fine since we shaved the treads off. It turns all day long. As for the wheels under the yellow stuff. Those are going to be fixed casters that serve almost as a wheelie bar. They prevent us from falling over if we get pushed while trying to get up the 6" step. 1108 I'm looking forward to seeing your robot and I guess we'll see you in houston.

Just curious... but did you guys have a leverage problem with the way you pull up that arm? I know last year when we tried to make an extending horizontal bar we had lots of problems with leverage, I was wondering if you guys ran into issues with that and how you went about fixing it. Your bot looks good, good luck!
