The modularity of the wheels is great for adapting the drivetrain to unforeseen field blemishes (which hopefully won't occur anywhere) and just the fact that repairs and replacements will be quick and easy.

p.s. Can you please make the door on the control panel do the door open/close sound effect from Star Trek TOS?

Haha, Q, there's actually a vid of the robot driving for the first time on vimeo. And maybe I'll add small speakers to the control box...
