No, but wheels already exist.
Yeah, but somehow I don't see me rolling that thing around in the woods !
If you don't want the weight then you just have to take along less
equipment.
I use a Tamrac backpack ---- (it also can be carried as a shoulder bag) that
can haul all my most used lenses - 28-80 F, 70-210 F, 200 ED Macro, 300mm
FA, 16-50 DA*, 1.4 DA teleconvertor plus batteries,memory, filters &
cleaning accesories - about all I ever use in the field.
The 600 FA has its own Kinesis backpack that is very comfortable to wear but
weighs a ton, so it only goes out on special treks.

No, but wheels already exist. For example:

As previously mentioned in the thread, the bag will slip over pop-up
luggage handles, so it would also work on a cart like this.
Bags don't subtract anything from the total weight of your equipment.
If you don't want the weight then you just have to take along less
equipment. If the Nova Sport 35L is too large but you like the style
and arrangement, consider the smaller sibling: Nova Sport 17L.
My bag is pretty stuffed and weighs 25.5 lbs (but a good chunk of that
is the laptop and power supply.) I wouldn't want to carry that on my
shoulder very far, but I only really need to get it between
accommodations and car. It is more about keeping things protected,
organized and easy to get at than slogging around with, for me.
One concern that I have with the bag is that this large bag might have
a greater weight capacity than it's engineering can handle. The
shoulder strap hardware (the D-Ring on the bag and the clip on the
strap webbing) is plastic. (What kind, I'm not sure, but I think we
all have experienced plastic that gets brittle with age or cold
temperatures.) I would sure prefer stainless steel fittings there. The
D-Ring could probably be changed out, but I'm not sure about the strap
hardware. One would probably just have to find a better strap to
replace the plastic one if one wanted that peace of mind. I'd hate to
have a 25lb bag of equipment hitting pavement from my waist height.
