Hello NASA! I have an idea that helps Astronauts scoop up lunar dust! Meet Courtesy, a bot/rover specifically devised for carrying lunar regolith. My robot moves lunar regolith by using claws, like Excavators digging up dust on Earth. Courtesy will excavate approximately 3 cubic feet of regolith, so the efficiency aspect relies on how much regolith needs to be transported. Courtesy has 6 units of space, which stores all of its principal components (Claws, Batteries, etc.) These sections also contain communication systems and an Emergency Responsive Backup System, which works by supplying the battery with power in a situation where the battery power is low, or a condition where the battery fails. There is a Van de Graff generator in a compartment, to tackle the staticky lunar regolith problem. The generator will provide any charged energy wherever required. The claw will safely carry regolith to the moon base.
