The lunar soil presents lots of challenges that impede the robots that we send to the moon. Firstly, Ingenuity will be able to move the lunar soil with its scooper/ramp that will pile lunar soil into the large soil area. It will make a trip then raise one compartment side to let all the soil into a larger container at the base then go back for more soil. Ingenuity will be powered by the 3 solar panels on the back of the robot. As for the lunar regolith challenges, the axles will be blasted by air jets on the axel from CO2 canisters stored inside of the robot. The same will be with the solar panels. The antennae will be able to receive commands from far away. I hope that ingenuity will be able to help us do more things on the moon.
