My Lunar Robot's name is Lunar Discovery and will be controlled by NASA from earth and will work on its own when digging and excavating the regolith. It will use Solar panels located on the top back to be active on the moon. It will have its main weight in the middle, and be balanced with three tires on each side. It will move at varying speeds depending on location and terrain. Tire tread will be used and have little spikes to stick to the surface of the moon. It will use carbon fiber for the inside of the rover and carbon steel for the outside. It will use a special coating to protect itself from the dust and use a combination of Active and Passive technologies. It will also have a scooper arm to dig and excavate soil and be stored inside the rover.
