With this 6 wheel setup with omni wheels in the corners you drag your wheels a lot less on the ground when you are turning in place. With 4 wheels you end up having more motion perpendicular to the wheel which, given a lot of traction in your wheels can really strain your drive train, and make turning much slower.
