Yes, I spoke too soon. Big Mike AIMed me with a correction also.

In a general sense, I would suggest less. 0.2" should be fine for most cases.

This situation REALLY depends on the robot's Center of Gravity (Cg). Again, generally speaking, a robot with a higher Cg needs more "tilt" difference between the vertical location of the outside wheels and the inside wheel. Robots with a lower Cg will turn OK without a difference, but robots with higher Cg will jump and wobble as they try to turn with no difference.
