The Bolt Headed Beast uses a plow to push up regolith and rocks. Then a vacuum turns on to ensure it is only taking in regolith. The robot has a one way valve to a chamber to ensure no regolith escapes. The robot is built out of nonmetals and has an indium tin oxide coating to ensure that regolith will not stick to the robot. The inside of the vacuum is also coated in indium tin oxide to prevent buildups and blockages. The Bolt Headed Beast has a camera in an elevated spot that can turn 360° so the operator can see everything around the robot. The robot will contain solar panels so it can recharge. Finally, It has 2 sets of treaded tracks to allow the robot to drive over any terrain. The tacks will have their own motors so the operator can turn precisely and maneuver easily.
