Go to Post It would be wise to consider the reasoning behind the statement rather than the statement itself. Sometimes they are right... other times their statement is incomplete... and other times they really do have no clue what they are talking about. - dtengineering [more]

You get more contact area between the drive wheels and the carpet when you use more wheels.

Some will argue that the reduced weight on each wheel makes it no more effective than a four-wheel system. Others will counter with the idea that the carpet fibers bend and thus have a maximum static friction force they will support for a given area.

With this 6 wheel setup with omni wheels in the corners you drag your wheels a lot less on the ground when you are turning in place. With 4 wheels you end up having more motion perpendicular to the wheel which, given a lot of traction in your wheels can really strain your drive train, and make turning much slower.
