I actually prefer omni's on opposite corners (like 494/70) as opposed to 2 on the same side. That way it makes you harder to be spun by other teams, but still allows you to spin and change direction quickly and accurately.

That is an awesome idea...

The center wheel doesn't always have to be lowered. Team 25 has been using a 6WD design for many years, and we have never had to lower our center wheel.

I just did this yesterday for our test plateform. Just be careful about how much u lower the middle wheel. We used 3mm and it works great in carpet.
