I would recommend the center wheels be directly driven from the gearboxes.
Also I would suggest you may want to experiment with no tensioners and even eliminate the use of the bearing blocks on the outer wheels. It will reduce the machine time to fab the frame rails and eliminate the time used to fabricate at least 8 semi complicated parts. Simplifications like these help free up time that we have used to build a 2nd/practice robot. Good luck and keep up the CAD practice, it will really come in handy during build season.
