  Two-wheel drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two wheel drive or 2WD describes vehicles with a drivetrain that allows two wheels to receive power from the engine simultaneously.
For four-wheeled vehicles, this term is used to describe vehicles that are able to power at most two wheels, referred to as either front or rear wheel drive.
For vehicles that have part-time four wheel drive, the term refers to the mode when 4WD is deactivated and power is applied to only two wheels.

 ChiefDelphi Forums - 2-wheel versus 4-wheel drive
Let's say you design your robot to be two wheel drive and the coefficient of friction between your wheels and the floor is 1.
If you begin to push something such that the two driven wheels are away from the object your pushing, you might end up with all 130 lb on the two drive wheels giving you 130 lb of pushing force.
I am a BIG fan of 3 wheels on a side with the middle wheels lower (1/4 to 1/2 inch depending on a number of factors including the flex in the tires you are using).

 2 Wheel Drive Trike
The right side gear reduction is 19-24 while the left is 18-23 meaning that the right wheel is geared a tiny bit higher than the left.
I had worried that using freewheels instead of one-way clutches would act funny when drive shifts from one wheel to the other.
The inside wheel gets the drive in turns, but when weaving the bike, the transition is seamless.

 Automobile
By the 1930s, most of the technology used in automobiles had been invented, although it was often re-invented again at a later date and credited to someone else.
For example, front-wheel drive was re-introduced by Andre Citroën with the launch of the Traction Avant in 1934, though it appeared several years earlier in road cars made by Alvis and Cord, and in racing cars by Miller (and may have appeared as early as 1897).
Major factors in accidents include driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, inattentive driving, overtired driving, road hazards such as snow, potholes and animals, and reckless driving.

 WHY 2-WHEEL DRIVE?
When you make a real effort on a bicycle, you pull hard on the right side of the bar to better push the right pedal, then you do it on the left, and so on.
This question was first asked by a Frederick Bemis, from Iowa, who patented a system to transmit the power of the arms to the front-wheel in 1897, but his system could not work.
About 2 dozen inventors have tried to solve the problem since then, never satisfactorily.

 Dirt Bike News - KTM's Two-Wheel Drive Dirt Bike - Dirt Rider Magazine
When you are riding very slowly, for example at the Erzberg, where it's seriously up and down over rough ground, the rear wheel often breaks traction and spins - but not with the 2-wheel drive, which keeps on pulling with the front wheel.
With 2-wheel drive one simply twists the throttle and the bike accelerates because the power is distributed to both wheels.
You must get used to the fact that the front wheel is also always driving, that you should always take a wider curve radius, and that you'll be amazed when the front wheel pulls you out of a rocky section.

Hoping to keep on top of what may be the next major breakthrough in motorcycle design, KTM says it also is now working with a two-wheel-drive system.
"What we're testing at the moment is a mechanical hydraulic system with a pre-set torque distribution between the front and rear wheel," Project Leader Wolfgang Felber explained in a prepared statement.
But if someone has problems with steep climbs or often gets bogged down, then I think 2-wheel drive will yield great rewards.
