Definitely, but couldn't you argue the same about other important components? For example, without an engine/motor, even the fanciest wheels will get you nowhere. I think it's somewhat of a paradoxical argument.
So the way I see it is that all of the major components are equally important, but you want to optimize your overall design to be both light and reliable.
- overcast 10y agoOf course you could, that's why you don't skimp on those things. You can get by with a crappy interior, but things like wheels/tires/transmission/engine are high priority. That's my whole point here, it doesn't look like the wheels were over engineered enough, but I'm not a rocket scientist.
- Cyph0n 10y agoThat wasn't clear from your original comment though. In case of the rover, other important things include comms/nav, movement controller, power source, and sensors.
