The pistons raise the outer wheels to increase maneuverability, when it comes time to push the outer wheels are lowered for 6 points of traction.

The lift is to raise and lower the wheels for the different speeds. A larger diameter wheel will make the robot travel faster at a definite RPM compared to a smaller diameter wheel because the larger wheel will travel farther (circumference) per rotation than a smaller wheel.
The amazing thing is to see a theoretical idea actually put into play and at the same time very well implemented. I can't wait to so this bot on the field!!!
Hey Robostangs, I think you are in for some recognition by FIRST...
