What ever you do, don't use a pivot wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My team used a pivot wheel last year and had major problems with steering. Our robot was incapable of backing up in a straight line. This screwed up our autonomous program.
If you do go with a three wheel design you should use a circular delrin skid.
As far as the number of wheels is concerned, that depends on your design. Personally, I'd use a four wheel drive robot because you get more power and it makes your drive train a lot more efficient.
