While several teams (25 and 103 are local examples) have excellent drivetrains with no drop, any team contemplating a six-wheel drivetrain had either better be prepared for a lot of hard development work OR have 1/8" or so of center wheel drop. Failure to do either may result in a robot that does not turn well.

The rocking effect is minimal, depending on your tread material (soft is less rock, hard is more), and we have not found it to be a serious issue, even using a stock KitBot frame.
