The robot that I deigned brings an innovative spark to the Lunar-robotic community. Since the main issue that we were wrestling with during this project was the Regolith sticking to the metal, I have fixed that by building all Nano-metal and an extra layer of Nano-coating spray to minimize stickiness between my all-metallic rover design and the Lunar Regolith mid collection. The highlights of my design include a small flamethrower to make the Regolith more pliable during collection (made possible with an oxygen tank within the body of the rover since there's no external oxygen on the moon), a trailing shovel that collects a lot of Lunar Soil per trip as the Rover moves, and all Nano-metallic tires that are temperature resistant to the cold that the Moon's environment brings.
