More progress...

Well, two days and four drill bits later, the casters are finally mounted. They had to be modified from the original design. Instead of bending the caster fork, steel brackets were custom created from spare steel and were then fastened to the gimbal frame. Turns out, it worked equally as well after extending the base about 2".

The PVC Frame as it is now:


A short clip of the rolling motion in action:

The control panel is done. Wiring and labels to be completed after all PVC work is done. This will be mounted inside the PVC frame.

Below are two photos of the current status of the PVC frame. All pieces are complete however I've run into a bit of a snag mounting the casters. I've come up with an alternate design which should work the same but will involve mounting L-brackets to the casters and extending the base dimensions by a bit. I'd estimate my total project completion at about 80% thus far.
