Super debris collecting robot

The specification does not state this but it states that the hot debris are "very radioactive" I'm just assuming that it will be the worst possible enviorment imaginable when it comes to radiation.
Interesting story by the way thanks :)

There comes a point to where your robot will just melt so that it simply no longer works. :o Also, some types of radiation can contaminate objects, so that your robot could actually be radioactive as it returns stuff back to people . . . with that much radiation, radio control wont work either . . .
So based on this, a thought . . . perhaps a robot at some safe distance can cannon fire a tethered 'hand' that grabs debris, and then reels it in . . . it keeps your robot safe and makes remote control possible.

ok dumb question, but maybe i should have asked this in the beginning . . . why is it collecting debris? for analysis, or nuclear cleanup?

For analysis :)
Just wondering would you use tracks or wheels on a rough terrain? Looking at the NASA robots they say wheels.
Admin:
i perfer wheels because its easier and cheaper . . . check this out:
