    They should incorporate something like this for Mars Rovers. The main problem with most Rovers is they have to be solar paneled and they get stuck in the mud sometimes. Obviously there's a lot of thought that goes into mars rovers and the robot would still benefit from wheels, but if engineers needs the robot to go 50 km in one direction on a flat plain, one of these beasts could do it a lot faster with a lot less energy.
