I think most people would disagree with you here. My guess is the majority of teams who move to 6wd do so to improve the turning performance of their robots.

If that's why you guys in specific use 6 wheels, there's nothing wrong with that. But assuming everyone else is using the same reasoning, and making a blanket statement like "dont drop the center wheel" is misleading to people who do not fully understand the physics behind drivetrains.
