TaigaMars rovers have motors in each wheel because it allows for more precise control of movement, better traction on uneven terrain, and the ability to navigate challenging obstacles. Having separate motors in each wheel also provides redundancy in case one motor fails, ensuring the rover can continue to operate effectively.
