Question Re: Making your robot drive easier

I don't see how the 6 wheel drive would be optimal. If the center two wheels are lower, then only 4 wheels are touching at one time. If this is true, then you actually have power going to the two wheels that aren't on the ground simply being thrown out the window. Why not have a 4 wheel drive system with the wheels very close together. Am I missing something here?
