Yes - front and rear axle holes are available for removing two inches on each side (front and back). This would result in the closest six wheel "long" configuration available without drilling new axle holes, and would give you a center drop. We examined this last night, and decided to remove one inch from each, thus using the "middle" of the three available axle holes, and ending up with a slightly longer that square bot.
Also worth noting: The instructions produce a bot that is still 2 inches under the maximum perimeter size (either configuration)
