That just means that it's permitted, and that we can't use more than one. Just because it's included doesn't mean that it's required unless stated otherwise. What I'm trying to get at is that it's not like 2009, where the rover wheels were included and REQUIRED, and it was clearly stated.

Another question for the Q&A.
