Yes we've tested it, and it really depends on how likely your robot is ever to recline onto the back wheels. You generally want a low CoG, so if it's low enough you will never have the back wheels touch the ground while accelerating. You could definitely experiment with the drop though and may find different results. We found it works best to actuate one side, and it was still pretty light, at about less than or equal to 30 lbs.
