The perfect configuration of wheels for tank-style steering is one wheel at each corner of a square. But because most robots are rectangular, teams solve this issue by using six wheels with the center wheel lowered. As a result the drive train functions as two four wheeled robots - tipping back and forth.
If you try and mount 4 wheels at each corner of the kitbot chassis you will quickly understand what I mean
