My machine was built for maximum efficiency and reliability. I tried to imagine all possible accidents and come up with a solution to avoid them. It is low riding with flat, long wheels to prevent tipping. To combat the moon’s dust, there is a recycling water system within the walls of the machine that disperses water over the inside and outside of the rover. A slanted floor and shifting back wall will make it easy to expel dirt from the machine. A toothed scooper will help to dig into the moon’s surface. The arm of the scoop was designed to be flexible but sturdy to avoid breaking.
