The purpose of the C.R.A.B (Carrying Regolith Around Base) is to carry regolith and transport it to the Artemis base. The C.R.A.B’s main components are the drill, hull, and wheels. The drill is a two foot metal pipe with an internal spinning shaft that when angled will lift regolith into the hull. The drill has an arm attaching it to the hull that can rotate it up and down. The hull is a 3ft storage unit with a conveyor belt as a base and stores regolith. It has a “door” on the back that can open to release stored regolith. The wheels of the C.R.A.B include six wheels that are each made of mesh wire and are attached to the hull under the conveyor. Overall C.R.A.B is a unique regolith transporting robot.
