Re: The Center Wheel
I would recommend dropping the center wheel. We have done so since 2005 excluding 2009 with varying amounts of success. Over the years, we have dialed in the drop to around .8" to .125". The only time we had trouble with dropping the center wheels was in 2008. I believe we had like 3/16 of drop that year and a very centrally located CG. We were to maneuverable to the point where the robot was tough to control.
On the Issue of stability, we have never had an issue. Maybe because we always try to keep our CG low.
Hope this helps.
