I do believe that is correct. Someone with a more sound physics base please feel free to correct me, but it all has to do with torque.
On a wide base, when the center of rotation is assumed to be between the wheels, the wheels turn on a larger radius than in this CAD. Therefore, the large radius gives the driving wheels more torque.
Although I can understand the concept. I do believe that with this kind of drive, you'd be able to turn quicker, but I think that with a 120-pound robot, you're not going to get the performance with a basic 6WD.
