Abstract

The UNH LunaCats Robotics Team is a multidisciplinary student organization that participates in NASA’s Robotic Mining Competition. The annual competition challenges teams from across the United States to design and build a robot that is capable of navigating around or through craters and boulders on a simulated Lunar surface, mining and collecting regolith samples (gravel), and depositing the regolith into a collection bin. The robot is constructed using an aluminum frame, an auger to mine the regolith material and a bucket system to store and deposit the material. During the competition, the robot will be tele-operated and will try to collect as much regolith as it can within 15 minutes.
