Base

This year's base is small, but it is still able to support the other subsystems. The 9" wheels help with ensuring a low center of gravity and keeping the robot balanced.

Forklift

The forklift design is a primary function of Selene LUNAR. This efficient system can easily perform various tasks by using this arm along with other mechanisms. The forklift uses a motor, 1/2 inch spindle, and string to move up and down.

Manipulation

The manipulation subsystem carries the habitat modules and deposits them in the appropriate locations. It is an important factor in our design.
