Pincer moves lunar regolith by scooping it up in his “arms” and depositing it into his “stomach” (storage unit; see D). His arms are connected by rods and hollow balls that allow for a full range of motion and 2 of them will come together to scoop up the regolith (see B). Pincer’s 4 legs work independently to scoop up whatever the arms leave behind. His arms and legs are covered in a tightly-woven, loosely-hanging fabric (see A), which prevents the lunar dust from sticking to and interfering with Pincer’s movements. He has 2 “eyes” in front (see C) that scan the rocky terrain and help him avoid craters. Pincer’s tank-like wheels (see E) pulverize all the rocks in his way and prevent the lunar dust from sticking to the wheels inside. Finally, Pincer’s large storage unit allows him to transport large amounts of regolith at once.
