Agreed, thought I'd go one step further and say it also needs to include wheel size. What we're really discussing is how much torque can a given belt/pulley setup transmit. If we assume robot weight and wheel CoF are constant, then a pulley on a 6" wheel needs to transmit 50% more torque than a 4" wheel to put an equal force vector to the ground.
