vitality will have the primary function of digging and moving lunar regolith. vitality will be autonomous, and will be controlled by commands set for the day. my robots main power system will be a RTG. vitality will be platform like, so it wont be able to tip over. vitality wont rely on speed to get the job done as much as it will battery life. vitality will maintain traction with mesh wheels. vitality will handle extreme temperatures with heating/cooling vents. vitality will deal with lunar dust in both passive and active ways. a passive way that my robot will handle lunar dust would be to put a protective cover on the robot to prevent dust to sticking to it. An active way to prevent lunar dust problems would be to use vents that use compressed air to blast the dust off of the robot. vitality will have multiple shovels.
