I imagine it gently drops the front onto the casters, then brakes
hard, wasted time and then limited braking force from the rear wheels.

If it were on the main/drive wheels and the front casters, for the
purpose of describing vehicle dynamics it becomes appropriate to
describe the main/drive wheels as the 'rear' wheels.

Overall the vehicle has one (or two?) wheels in the back to prevent it
rolling over backwards, the main drive wheels, and two (looks like 2)
casters in the front.

I expect those firont & back casters in the prototype are
to keep it upright with the power off & not otherwise functional,
much less as a brake.

Any self-respecting pothole might eat it though .. with
a small dainty burp.
