The triangle design is a byproduct of maximizing motors and minimizing other complexity. Minimum amount of wheels to be fully supported is 3 and maximum reasonable amount of CIMs is 6. It also ensures all the wheels are in contact with the ground. 4 CIM 4WD would end up weighing about the same, be more mechanically complex and less powerful.

Back in MY day, we had full metal to metal contact. Not any of this wussy bumper stuff! - Michael Hill [more]
