You know those gravitational waves you keep hearing about recently? Those weren't created by colliding black holes, they were created by our boulders colliding with the opposing alliance's tower. - JohnFogarty [more]

6 Wheel Drive vs. 8 Wheel Drive

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a 6 wheel WCD in comparison with an 8 wheel WCD? My intuition says it's a trade off between less weight as opposed to added stability, but there's probably more to it and I'd like to know what those with more experience with these drive trains have to say.
