not necessariyl. if one of those tires lose contact with the carpet, you only have a 3motor powered robot. 2 motor powered if 2 tires leave ground.. but if oyu have a chain connecting the wheels, even if one wheel leaves the ground, there are still 4 motors torquing the wheels still in contact with the groudn.
