Y.F.N.R.

Y.F.N.R. Stands for “Your Friendly Neighborhood Rover.” My rover is controlled and needs someone to control it with a controller. There are four main parts to my robot’s design: the base, the tread which makes the robot move, the scooper, and the pusher, to collect the regolith or lunar soil. The rest of the parts are just key details that will keep the robot from breaking down. For example, in the design, I added two 125 lbs. of weights because the moon's gravity is ⅙ of Earth’s gravity. So when the robot is on the moon it is not floating around, it is doing its job. The robot's job is to collect moon dust and bring the dust to the space station. The space station which will be on the moon in 2024, is 325 feet away.
