If I could create a rover for NASA, I would name it Rocky (my favorite actor). Instead of using drills and shovels, it would have vacuums, which would suck up material and read it through an analytic reader inside the bot being able to upload it to NASA. Built for the extreme lunar environment, the tires would be flattened to look more like tracks, giving it extra grip and mobility. How could this be powered? There is a giant solar panel on top of the bot, sucking energy from the sun and storing it in a ginormous battery. Finally, for the human character, the rover would have a head guiding in front, with cameras for eyes and a GPS radar as a nose, it will never get lost. This is my Lunabot, Rocky (now with the option of additional boxing gloves as vacuum covers).
