You can lower the center wheels on any 6WD. Now, if those are not the driving wheels, you may as well do a 4WD setup, but that's beside the point. It's pretty effective, but both methods (6WD "drop" style and 6WD coplanar, which has the omni wheels at the corners) have their fans. You'll want to experiment to find out which is better.

I'd also suggest powering more than two wheels.
