Agreed! Last year was the year that rock was bad when dealing with ball manipulators and lifting off the ground or losing your ball. That is what made 8wd so popular. We almost went with 8wd to eliminate rock, but choose 6wd since it was faster to make, cheaper, easier, and the rock wasn't going to affect our design.
