Why is everyone determined on having cantilevered wheels? Can someone give me a bit of info? Is there really much of an advantage?

I've seen plenty of people throwing up designs on CD or describing their past robots using 1/8" thick aluminum for their chassis.
Is this truely not the case or are you just referring to the original post saying that it would just be a strip of 1/8" without any angle or channel or gussetting?
Just currious because our robot last year was completely built out of 3/16 sheet - outer wheel plates just held on with standoffs - and, while this was totally bomb proof, it seemed way overkill to me (and heavy to boot).
