Rover fall down a hill? Wheel get stuck? Need to send a little tiny rover down into a lava tube then have it jump back out again?
No problem.
At .38 gravity things look even better...

Such robots should be happy exploring the Moon as well.
Things like solar panels and arms will need protecting.
I hope it works in lose dust.
