My Egg Mobile will be both autonomous and remote controlled, the driver will simply input a location and the robot will find its way there. The robot will have rechargeable batteries that can be charged at a separate, solar- powered station. The robot will be mainly made of aluminum with silicone wheels (helps prevent the regolith from sticking) for handling extreme temperatures. The robot will be shorter than it is wide and most of its weight will be on the bottom of the bot for a lower center of gravity. The robot will be slower, to not kick up dust. The tires will have grooved treads for traction. My robot will have a rounded hull with a coating so that the regolith can roll off. It will also be able to vibrate, effectively shaking off excess regolith. And it will have a claw to dig up and transport lunar regolith.
