This is my entry for the NASA Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot Bucket Drum Design Challenge. My design features three distinct compartments, with a maximum of two scoops in operation at any given moment, resulting in a maximum total width of engaged scoops of 152 mm. One Scoop Width: 76 mm Maximum Bucket Drum Diameter: 428 mm Maximum Bucket Drum Length: 244 mm Volume for Regolith: Approximately 34.6 liters This design operates on the same principle demonstrated and explained in the challenge description and accompanying videos. Since this design has not undergone testing or simulation, the estimated fill ratio can only be projected to approximately 65%. Material: Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) Manufacturing Process: Selective Laser Sintering Total Mass: Approximately 4.95 kg
