Why do most NASA rovers have 6 wheels?
Also curious to know whether all the 6 wheels are powered?

I agree with the points mentioned by @#-Link-Snipped-# . Whenever it over the bunds or rock. It will give better stablility. If 8 or more wheels then it will be even better. But think about the weight & accomodation.SarathKumar ChandrasekaranYes consider a six wheeler running over a bump and a same bump was crossed by a four wheeler.If the four wheeler's front wheel rolls over a bump, it has less stability and if it has 6 wheels , it could pass it much comfortly .(Correct me if i am wrong)
