The middle wheel is lowered so that the wheel base is shorter, one wheel in the system is always raised. Shorter wheel base and only 4 wheels contacting allows for less scrubbing, and quicker turning.

We havn't had trouble with it so far, but we unfortunately have very limited carpet access, and room to drive so we havnt' had full ability to test it.
