Problem on the moon
The problem that our robot was trying to solve was to sort out certain samples of lunar dirt. So in case NASA needed to test a specific sample of lunar dirt they would have it. Also most of the lunar soil is mixed in with some soil that you don't need. You may think that there is just on kind of sol on the moon but i can testify and say that there is a lot of minerals making up the moon. Keep reading to find the solution.
Time to fix the problem
How we fixed this problem was by building a color sorter. You may ask what does that have to do with the problem at stake? Well we figured that it would take a lot longer to build a robot that could sort dirt so instead we built a color sorter. Well you could probably guess what it does but ill tell you anyway. So what the color sorted did was, that the colors on the slide would represent the lunar soil on the moon and that it would go into certain buckets based on what NASA or anyone else needs. As you know there will always be exes soil like mono-mineralic fragments that will be mixed with agglutinate particles but NASA may just need the mono-mineralic fragments so this will solve that problem.
