My robot's name is Soalis, it is designed to pick up and carry Moon soil. It has a scoop in the front and a vacuum in the back, the vacuums pick up what the scoop drops. This comes in handy because this ensures that we are picking up the right amount of soil. It has four extendable pillars at the bottom of the robot so it can lunge forward optimizing the amount of soil the robot can scoop up. It can carry a decent amount of soil each trip and make a lot of trips back and forth.The inside where the soil is kept has a little bag around it two separate the soil and lunar dust. The robot has a mechanism where it can dampen itself by removing the effects of the static sand.
