This allows you to place the third motor where you need it, make your robot skinny or wide, etc to best fit the game challenge.

If you do build an origional drivetrain I suggest trying smaller wheels and supporting the axel on both sides of the wheel. That'll will give you a very reliable configuration.

Thanks for the thoughts, Bryan. And I'm totally using your signature quote for something.
