Actually, the position of the wheels is quite relevant to how the chassis will perform on the field.

As your wheels are arranged currently, it's possible to rotate your robot in place while under no power. During a match, a competing robot could push you at the corner, causing your robot to spin in the same manner. There's no way to apply power to oppose that motion.
