there are different types of castors out there, but im looking for the ones that bolt straight to the under side of the base, and doesnt turn like a castor.
Its like a small metal peice (the shape of half a ball) welded to a plate, this allows the robot to turn just like the castors, but not having the weight and mounting problems
anyone know where i can get any???????
i think there called ball race casters????
they are called ball transfer units. nice and compact but expencive and i dont think they are as free moveing as a normal castor.
we are manufactures of wheels and castors
We had ball transfer units on Armadrillo and had no problem with them. Would recommend them.
Although might they be heavy for featherweights?
There is a wide range of BTUs, some are usefull in robot combat, but most of them sieze up after a hard fall or can collect a lot of debree from the floor. BTUs come in various sizes so also in various weights. But if you manage to find the right one, they are terrific.
