The three wheels will allow for an easier travel into the crater and less possibility of getting stuck or being unable to get over.

basically their robot runs into the blocks/particles and scoops them up using a wall and then transfers them to their horizontal conveyor belt before dumping them in the basket

their method was solid and scored points, however it would require our bot to go past the crater

note the rubber band that stabilizes the motor running for the arm
