Moon Sweepers Robot Vacuum Mk I: capacity, coverage & delivery

How does Robot Vacuum Mk I collect dust?

Robot Vacuum Mk I works from a Mk I dock, collecting nearby dust and returning it to the dock. Building the $250 dock provides the robot; the mobile unit has no separate purchase price.

The Mk I carries 15 kg and cleans a 1.3 m strip. The Mk II carries 40 kg and cleans 2.4 m, but its dock costs $500 rather than $250. Compare those purchases before expanding a small collection route.

How does its load reach a station?

The route is ground dust → robot → dock → conveyor → station intake or processing. Connect the dock’s output before expecting automatic sales. Dust carried by the robot or waiting in dock storage has not yet reached the selling end.

Use the machines table to compare the complete dock purchase with other collection equipment.

Why might the robot be idle?

First check whether the reachable ground around the dock is already clean. If it is, reposition the setup on fresh ground. If the robot is full, follow its delivery route: dock storage, outgoing belt and the destination’s input or intake. A blocked route needs clearing before more storage or another unit can help.

The logistics guide covers belt direction and station connections. Use the Moon Map to find remaining dirty areas. For autonomous collection beyond a fixed dock area, compare J.O.O.N.A.S. and its Capsule Catcher route.
