Yes, but if you get terrestrial locomotion, manipulation, perception and navigation down pat, that has benefits not just for Martian exploration. You will coincendentally have many subtasks mastered which are needed for roving around unhappy nuclear power plants, buildings on fire, and chemical waste dumps like Hanford, to name but a few terrestrial scenarios (and large markets).
