To animate the wheels, you should make sure the pivot point is in the middle. Select the 3rd or 4th tab on your right control panel (forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm working from memory). Click the "affect pivot only" button and then click the "center pivot to object," taht should align it. Then animate the wheel by rotating and using keyframes (the same way you animated the robot, only with the rotate tool instead of the move tool). The grass will be harder, I've never tried so i don't have an easy solution. I can try to set you in the right direction though, unless its going to be up close, use a texture instead of modeling.
