My robot named Freya is designed to dig and transport lunar soil. My robot is controlled by a remote that someone operates and powered by solar panels. The solar panels have windshield wipers to combat dust. It has a wide base with extended wheels with springs to stay stable and be flexible going over rough soil. The wheels have grooves on the tires for traction. It'll go at a fast speed traveling to and from the spaceship but slow while digging in the crater. The outer layer of my robot is made from material that reflects sunlight (not including solar panels,) so it doesn't over-heat. The base also has a sleeve for dust. To dig for regolith, it has a large scoop with spikes on the edge to break into rough soil. The soil is stored in a bin that opens and closes located on the top of the base.
