I have a few caster designs that I like to use. Here are two links to robots that I have designed for a standard robot competition. Both of these use similar caster wheel designs. See steps 13-15 of: (URL) steps 9a and 9b of: (URL) Jansson (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics)

You want the wheel to spin on the spot with minimum friction, so wouldn't you want to use a large pulley with a thin tire? ---...--- Steve Baker ---...--- HomeEmail: <sjbaker1@airmail.net> WorkEmail: <sjbaker@link.com> HomePage : (URL) : (...)

(...) Sure, you can make a caster with the pulley wheel and thin tire though I think it is a little less elegant. For one thing, since the pulley wheel is only 1/2 unit wide, it will slop around unless you use a longer axle and bushings on the ends (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) A better idea yet is to use the pulley wheel without a tire. There is no need for traction in the caster. A hard plastic wheel allows the caster to act like a skid sometimes and minimizes the caster steer experienced when straightening out (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics)
