Assuming that you consider the battery to be at the back (or front) of the robot, that makes sense. Most of the weight is on the two "side" wheels, which point mostly forward/back, so you can get good forces in the forward/reverse direction. When trying to go sideways, half of the force should normally be coming from the "nose" wheel, but as it is carrying little weight, it cannot generate as much force.

As these wheels will have a higher CoF on carpet, I would expect better performance, including when strafing.
