I found this lunar robot on youtube:

Really interesting usage of the wheels as tools :)
it looks very promising.

I agree, that by far the best part of it :D
It's something inovative, and I already had plans of a similar thing on paper for a future robot ::)

I went to a talk in Italy given by the people working on that robot. Its pretty neat actually . . . I especially like how the wheels are not only legs but also tool holders.

In the video you may have noticed this pod looking thing on top. The idea is that it could also be a mobile habitat.

But dont let the videos fool you, they are sped up by like 10x. The thing in reality is really really slow.
