Caster on robot can hang on the edge of the mat #475

As a novice, I see a couple ways to fix this.

  1. Lower the robot chassis friction here.

  2. Lower the surface friction here.

Is this what you were thinking of @tcorbly?

In my testing, changing the friction doesn't make a difference for either 1. or 2., I think the solution is more likely to change the geometry. Either by decreasing the thickness of the mat, sinking it into the floor, or modifying the geometry of the caster.

Changing the mat height to -7.1 appears to solve this issue.
