I'm thinking center wheel's would be better set up as a retractable limb with a track drive. Be better on sandy slopes & more energy efficient when not needed & retracted.

@Arizona_Patriot
Curiosity resembles a sort of high-tech dune buggy. It stands almost eight feet high, weighs about 1,800 pounds and employs a nuclear-powered battery to run its many scientific tests.
Good call :)

Here's a little info on Atomic Batteries.

Maybe someday we could use them in our vehicles...?
