Also, if the link is via direct radio communication between CP and robot, it's easier to maintain it with an airborne drone than with a vehicle mucking around in terrain clutter. Satellite up/downlinks or other indirect communications may solve this issue, but may have other problems. Plus, AFAIK, airborne drones have a backup program that is designed to bring them home when the link fails. rather more difficult on the ground than in the air.
