My rover’s name is Chandrarátha (Moon’s chariot). Chandrarátha will use compactors to break up chunks of regolith and a giant shovel to move it back to the base. Chandrarátha will make more trips around the moon, because it can only move so much regolith. Chandrarátha has sensors to know when something is on its path, so it can avoid it. To prevent lunar dust from accumulating on Chandrarátha, I propose these three ideas: “Electronbeam Shooter” will wedge negatively charged electrons between tiny dust particles to make each negatively charged so it repels each other and falls off. “Electromagnetic assaults” - Using electricity produced by solar panels on the rover, we can magnetize metallic particles in relogith. Using strong electromagnets, we can repel the dust away from the rover. “Tractionx2” - Add wheels with wedges that spin in different directions, to increase traction so it can keep itself grounded.
