Our 2007 "Rack 'n' Roll" robot was a six-wheel drive with no center drop. It had extra-thick tread on the center wheels and it drove like a dream. We never figured out whether the very slight discrepancy in wheel circumference made any difference one way or the other. There was some conjecture that a teeny bit of scrub on the corner wheels might actually result in better turning.
