There is no reason to debate this at all. They wheels need to be offset or your robot will not turn. Or it might turn, but you'll noice considerable hopping as your bot attempts to overcome the extreme friction beween your wheels and the carpet.

My team tried a simple 4WD with tracion wheels on all four axles, and that they hopped. Without a dropped middle wheel, your problem would be significantly worse.
