My LunaBotics Jr. Robot will mine the regolith, contain it, and heat up the regolith. I will need to heat up the regolith to 600o C to extract the helium 3 from the regolith. The container inside the machine has heaters at the bottom and the regolith will be placed onto the heaters and then heated up to the right temperature. Then the regolith will be taken back to a rocket and put carefully into a container. There are little blocks spaced out at a good distance from each other so they can mine. Next, the regolith will be pulled back into a hole then on the heaters. The tires on the robot will be very reinforced and will be big for more ground coverage.
