6 wheel drive with an offset center wheel reduces the scrub forces when you are turning, making it smoother and reducing the amount of current draw. You can accomplish the same thing with omni wheels in the front or back but that makes it very easy to push you when you are trying to score. 6 wheel gives you good traction and good mobility.
