Why?

Well, depending on how you're angled, it would be ideal to have one wheel closer to the front for steering/direction instead of two, with the back two acting as speed and stability. With one wheel upfront you should be able to turn smoother/faster.
Well, having a 3 sided bot would expose more area for a defensive bot/offensive bot to hit the bot in the corner to knock a shot off target as a triangle is essentially based off of 3 corners, not 4 corners with "flat space" in between that would do very little when hit. In short, the tribot is more exposed when it comes to being hit effectively.
