My lunabot will have a large scoop good for holding regolith. Almost similar to an excavator but in a much smaller size. It will be able to scoop it up and throw it in a container the bot would carry around. The container can safely hold all of the regolith the bot has collected. The bot can carry a decent amount of dirt per trip. Though the bot will take time collecting the dirt it is fast moving meaning trips could be way shorter. In order to avoid dust from sticking to the bot, an electron beam concept would be needed. Electric fields repel lunar dust. The thing I used on my robot is a mesh. Mesh is a solution to dust forms that is stainless steel. Mesh is able to generate an electrical field which would repel the moon dust.
