We're also trying out a 6-wheel configuration this year (the first in our team's 9 years) and so far we're amazed by the performance. The thing you have to think about with your chains is that you don't want one chain running off another chain. For example, you wouldn't want your gearbox driving your back wheels, which chains to your middle wheels, which chain to your front wheels; the first chain would have twice as much stress on it. What we did is run one chain from the back to the middle, and another from the back to front, on the other side of the frame. It's a little more complicated than putting the gearbox in the middle, but it makes a lot more room in the robot.
