The Tr4ctor

This robot will be a tractor-like robot that can dig up lunar regolith and store it in the center of the robot. It will be a square robot that has four dirt scoopers that come out of the robot on all four sides to maximize the amount of regolith that is picked up and stored per trip. The four scoopers will have a protection layer to block out lunar dust after the regolith has been dug and scooped. The robot will have tank wheels so it can move and turn easily. While the tractor is lifting the soil, the middle will open to allow the dust to be dumped. Other times, the middle will close to cover the soil and protect the soil from lunar dust. The robot will also have solar panels that can tilt to match the sun and store energy for later use.
