Rassor Bucket Design Idea

grabcad

This is my concept for NASA's Rassor Bucket Challenge. A spiral bucket design features an axle that doubles as an auger, storing and transporting regolith in a continuous loop. By reversing direction, the augers can efficiently dump material, eliminating the need for repeated back-and-forth motions. An optional central container allows the augers to discharge their load directly into it. However, this setup would require a dispensing mechanism to release the collected regolith at the right moment.
