My rover is called Scooper and what it will do first is the flaps at the end will open to collect the regolith and when it is full there will be a latch that opens and the regolith will fall. The latches will close to go to a new place to collect more. The scooper can collect 10-15 pounds of regolith before it has to dump the regolith out. The way my design will be able to handle the lunar dust is it is going to have a bucket and when it is full collecting the lunar dust the bucket will open and the lunar dust with fall into the bucket is full as when and the other bucket with the regolith it will go to drop it back off than when it is empty it will go back for more until they don't need any more lunar dust.
