Project Description: ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Stationary Lunar Diggers

Team Abstract: Team LunaREX's objective is to build a mechanically functional stationary robot capable of digging lunar regolith. Inspired by the NASA RASSOR, the LunaREX digger utilizes a rotating drum with a trommel-like filter to pick up and store regolith up to 7 cm in diameter. The drum can pick up 0.5 kg of regolith throughout one 15-minute dig cycle and serves as a proof of concept for future lunar mining endeavors.
