Physical Design: My robot will roll around with a vacuum attached to it then it will suck up the loose regolith. Then, the robot will heat the regolith up to 600 degrees celsius. Once all the robots heat up their regolith, they will transport it to the ship. Operational Design: I think my robots will carry a good amount of regolith. The robots won’t be huge, but they will be big. So the bot will probably be 5 feet, by 2 feet, by 2 feet. There will be multiple bots so the medium size bots will have lots of help. Dealing with Dust: My robot will be able to handle the regolith because in the vacuum there will be a neutralizer to take off the staticky coat to the regolith. If there was not a neutralizer in the vacuum, the regolith would stick to the vacuum.
