well of course this is going to be true but isnt it also true (correct me if i am wrong, i might be) that when trying to turn with a four wheel drive robot it is not as smooth and quick as when turning as a 2 wheel drive robot. therefore you lose time and it is really hard to get accurate position measurements from your encoders
