The Mod Bot

Time to go to the moon! There’s a special task that my robot must complete, and that’s scooping moon dirt. That sounds simple, but there are 3 things I need to consider, how will it look, move, or deal with dust. Here’s the plan. First, for the physical design, the tires are made of piano wire and titanium to stay on the surface. Second, there’s an HD camera to see surroundings. Third, the robot has a solar panel charged by the Sun. Last, the scoop and arm have a compartment to store away. For the operational design, the robot can last for 3 days and charging only takes an hour. It’s arm can move fast yet hold posture for at least 15 minutes. The cup-shaped scoop is also large to scoop lots of dirt. To deal with dust, all mechanisms are concealed and everything has a nano-coating so nothing sticks.
