Steve,
Provided that my robot doesn't tip-over and that only the front
wheels are driven. I have seen a video of a robot in last year's
competition that opened up into a V-shape. The angle between the arms
of the V being greater than 90 degrees. One arm attached to the tow
rope and the other heavier arm counterbalancing it, forcing all the
weight of the robot to be borne by two small, mightily geared down
wheels that were at the apex of the V. Really cool but way beyond
my current abilities!
