I was too lazy to read all the threads so I hope I'm not repeating something but it is very possible to be successful with a center-wheel design. In 1996, team 73 used a center-wheel drive. The center wheels were just powered wheel-chair wheels. There were custom-made spherical casters on the four corners of the robot. The chief advantage of the center-wheel drive at that time was manuverability. This meant that it was possible to spin out of an engagement with another robot. I should also add, that 1996 was the year that 73 was national champions.
