I designed my rover to be able to easily traverse the moon and get the samples of the soil that we want from this rover. I used four big tires with ridges on them to be able to traverse on the rocky terrain better than tank treads. I used four wheels because I thought that that would give it a sturdy base with less room for rocks to get in the way of the tires. I have two scoops in the front of the rover to be able to pick up lunar regolith and soil. I added communication devices such as a satellite and a camera. Design elements were chosen to lengthen the life of the rover such as filters and protective coatings.
