Apparently not; you asked about the chassis, not the strafe mounting.

Getting the strafe wheel at the same height as the other four is NOT what you need. Even when we had about 1/16" of a drop on ours relative to the corners, it did not provide enough traction to move the robot well. By the time we got the drop deep enough to produce consistent strafing, we had problems driving in forward and reverse. There just is no right height for a rigid mount.
