Viewing the Apollo 16 DVDs, there are several traverse sequences with their 16 mm camera (no sound). The Rover is bouncing, bouncing, bouncing all the time! A wheeled vehicle could be annoying to astronauts.
I wonder about a vehicle on legs! Can it avoid bouncing on 1/6th of a G and still travel fast enough? I wonder.
