The main power source of the lunar robot is solar power . The solar energy coming from the sun is absorbed by the solar panels which gives it to the Sterling engine in order to convert into electrical energy. The robot is covered with a LETO fabric which stops the lunar soil from messing up the robot. The robot's outer shell is made of a material called tungsten carbide, one of the strongest metals on Earth. There are also wipers which wipe away the lunar soil from the robot. There is also a camera and some circuit boards which are coded for the robot. The drill system takes the soil out using a vacuum tube and blows it off to the side. Kind of like a snow blower. The tires are made of memory alloys meaning even after they get damaged they will come back to their original shape.
