Probably not but the HS students did what made sense to them. Their thought process was that if forward/backward movement was powered by 4 CIMs, they should use as many more as possible (the remaining 2) on lateral movement.

We're currently working on a way to actively engage the center omni (probably a spring or some funky distribution of weight) to push it into the floor as best as we can. As it sits right now, I haven't done any experimentation/calculation that would give us a definitive answer but I believe you'd be right in your suspicions.
