Well all three balls do fit in the cannon, but we can only effectively shoot two at a time if needed. The robot will only be shooting one ball at a time for the most part though.
As far as the middle wheels go, what you there is a pneumatic system which drops the wheels allowing the robot to move only on four wheels, thus allowing for tighter turns and increased maneuverability. It also raises them allowing all six wheels to be on the ground which increases our traction.
