My robot, the dust rover, is 3.5 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft in size. My robot has a shovel to carry regolith, this shovel is located in the front. It also has a tube that takes the regolith to the storing spot (like a vacuum) The dust rover will also carry lots of regolith per trip, there is a trunk like area in the back of the rover that carries regolith. My robot is powered by a solar panel and has a rotating camera so scientists can see the regolith. My robot should have a material that helps the regolith not cling to the exterior, a way this might work is by using steel. There is a small door in the back of the rover to remove the regolith. The wheels on my robot are long and wide so it doesn’t get stuck in the regolith.
