MiM had 6WD Omni.
They had 2 wheels, 2 wheels, 1 wheel, and 1 wheel on the sides of the bot.

So this bot wouldn't perform like the one Maddie is asking about.

Maddie - I've never heard of anyone making a bot like this. I can't imagine why anyone ever would... it would be too easy for someone to man-handle you all match simply by pushing you sideways.
