SCAVENGER THE LUNAR ROBOT

The scavenger will operate autonomously but can be remote controlled in case of emergency. The scavenger will get power from charging ports, where it can also dump regolith. Also, it will be able to adjust its speed but will mostly operate at about 2 mph to prevent damage. Inside the robot there will be a holding container where the regolith will be stored. There will also be sensors to alert the robot that its holding container is full so it can adjust to the safest speed for the robot. There will also be a mesh lining around the tires for traction, so it doesn’t slide or get stuck in the regolith. Scavenger will also be made from stainless steel since it can handle more extreme temperatures. Air will also be blown on the robot to get rid of excess dust, and it will use a scoop to dig up soil.
