Haha, this is the question that everyone has asked.

10WD is is to change Drive trains on the fly, we can pull two bolts and make it an 8WD, Four bolts to man a 6WD, so on and so fourth. Should help the kids get a real world understanding of Drive trains.

The side note to this is that we'll be using this as a testing rig to see what wheel configurations perform the best and to see if the number of wheels increases and or decreases performance. Should be interesting...
