i am curious about your chain runs. How come you didn't take the second chain off the transmission to the center wheel instead of the front, requiring the use of an idler?

Does your frame between the wheels clear the edge of the ramp? If not, does it make it up anyway?

I agree with Greg why would you put your chain that way, it just adds extra weight of all the extra chain. We have a similar 6 wheel drive, but the chain is going from the gearbox to the middle and back wheels, then from the middle to the front. The middle wheel is really the most important set in a 6 wheel drive, so i don't see why you would want a chain setup like that.
just my $0.02.

The chain set up is "for the weight". If we near the 120 limit, we will change the set-up.

Does your team weigh the robot all the time, and you want to make different parts of the team think that there's more of a weight problem than there really is?

Just guessing here, but it seems like the weight there would lower the COG which would make them less likely to tip.
