As I see it the point of lowering the center wheel is to make it easy to turn your robot but still maintain the ability to push people when you want to. Turning your robot works both ways. If it's easy for you to turn, then it will be easy for others to turn you. If you build your robot so it can't be turned by other bots, it will be very hard for your robot to turn by itself.
Another lesson is don't post on Chief Delphi disappointed, stop and evaluate first. Emotions suck sometimes. :-) - sircedric4 [more]
