We had a similar design a few years back in 2012 and we ended up having turning issues. We had gearboxes on our corner wheels then chain running from the rear wheels to the center wheels all 6 wheels were powered but this still caused some turning issues. At the time we also had the same exact tires on our robot. What will happen when turning with a drop center design is the weight is going to transfer to the middle wheels (powered) and the front corner wheels (unpowered). When this happens only 50% of your powered wheels will be touching the ground and it can cause some turning issues. A simple fix for this would be to add another belt run from the center wheels to the front wheels, your team could do this in a multitude of ways. Let me know if you have any more questions, good luck!
