I can't speak on fitting one in a cargo bay because I don't tend to use those. If I wanted to take a rover somewhere I'd probably put it under a fairing.

Rovers currently have one practical in-game use: getting closer to an anomaly when you can't land close to it. Even then, if you landed with Kerbals they could just walk/fly to the anomaly if you really need to.

Actually now that I think of it, Does the Sample Grabber have collision with other parts when in use? If yes, how would I go about controlling rovers with asymmetric wheels to counter this? What in the settings would I change?

I mean, that is half of what I'm looking for.

rephrasing, any tips/pointers for building compact rovers, no specific size restriction aside from the definition of compact?
