My machine is called the Lunar Excavator. My robot will move lunar soil with a wedge at the front of the machine. The wedge will move lunar soil out of the way. There are 6 giant wheels that are designed to drive in a rough environment. The wheels are protected by two semi-circle cages. My machine runs on solar electricity from the sun. There are also two solar generators attached to the machine. The machine is built to drive through the giant craters and get out of situations in which the machine is stuck. The machine also stores samples of lunar soil. It also has a camera attached to the top to provide scientists a view of the moon, and to help them learn.
