This robot is designed to dig and move lunar soil and bring it back to its future base. Each part of this robot has a purpose. First, it has paddle tires so it can move through the soft powdery moon soil. It has a pyramid solar panel on top to power it. It has one scooper on each side, and they move together as they scoop. Then they connect to make a sphere. Then it dumps the soil into a holding compartment on the top, in front of the solar panel. The holding compartment keeps the soil safe until it returns to the base. The last part is an arm that contains electron beams to clean moon dust of the robot. This will prevent damage to the hardware. The dimensions are length 3.5ft, width 2ft, and height 2ft.
