un-necessary 3 motor designs are designs that dont need 3 motors on each side -it depends on what else the drive train can do. If a bot can spin its wheels against a wall, then putting more motors on it does nothing but spin the wheels faster
and spinning the wheels faster does not give you any additional pushing force.
