I think there's a lot to be said about this topic. I'm hoping an expert will expand it. Isopropyl 15:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
I agree, and I'm surprised no one had created the article before I "went for it" yesterday. ⇒ BRossowT/C 15:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm trying to wrap my head around the scope of this article. So far, it seems the article is largely limited to vehicles. While weight distribution can certainly be a factor in anything that moves (eg. external ballistics like water balloons, bouncing bombs), I presume that this article won't cover that. Even within vehicles though, there's quite a broad range of things to consider:
Vehicles that are prone to turning over unless concerted effort is applied
Ships, aircraft, submarines, rockets
Vehicles that are naturally kept upright, but whose dynamic stability has a large impact on steering
Wheeled vehicles
Vehicles whose dynamic stability doesn't have a great affect on its motion
Tracked vehicles (tanks), spacecraft, and hot-air balloons
Maybe tanks belong in the second category, because they do have full-fledged suspensions. Anyway, there's probably a lot of room for expansion and organization. --Interiot 16:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
