The robot I have created for the Lunabotics competition is both safe, and sturdy, while compact, and convenient. The mars dust will not be a problem with this safe convenient rover. The reason being that I have designed a special silicone cover for all the joints, that have grips to hold on to the metal before the joint, and then there is extra silicone to form a bubble type shape around the joint. To protect it from the moon dust. There is also a protective glass covering for the engine and the vent. Although the vent glass covering does have small holes in the glass, they are small enough to prevent most dust from getting in. This robot is safe, compact, convenient, and keeps moon dust off and away from the joints.
