Why does NASA always send 1 robot to anywhere? You’d think if you’re going to go on a super long and challenging mission that you wouldn’t hedge your bet on 1 bot and instead launch multiple - at least 2 but up to 5 or something at once. Develop a compact deployment system and then deploy multiple bots for better survival. Also helps reduce production costs if you’re making more than one thing - I would think.

The most expensive part is delivering the payload. If you 5x the robot you 5x the volume & mass. Or in other words, for a fixed budget, you'd have to cut your robots' capabilities accordingly.
