The Debris Digger moves lunar regolith around on the Moon and Mars. It uses a solar panel for energy when the sun’s rays are visible and has batteries for when the sun's rays can not be seen. The Debris Digger carries quite a bit of lunar regolith at a time by using the linear actuator to vertically move the dual scoop down into the ground and then using another joint to move the scooper horizontally. There is one scoop on each side. The rover has six wheels that can all be individual controlled and can lift up one by one for sticky situations. The Debris Digger uses a antena for communication and a comrea to collect visual data. The overal size is 2 feet long, 1 foot 7 inches wide, and 1 foot 6 inches tall including antennas, wheels and any extra units in any direction.
