My robot will dig and scoop the lunar regolith with a big scoop in front. This scooper will then pick up regolith and then the front back and side panels will close into a box. There will be heaters at the bottom of the scooper that will heat the regolith to 600 degrees. When the regolith is turned into gas there will be canisters on the sides of the base of the shovel. It will then suck the gas up and the robot will go back to the base and drop the canisters and put a new one on. My robot will carry lots of dirt on each trip. To get rid of the regolith I will put several small little water sprays like on a car around my robot. I will put some on the bottom of my robot to help my tires and the axles of my robot.
