	~~<p>The~~ modularity ~~of LAMP is critical to its ability~~ to serve a wide range of needs on the Moon. ~~From making haul runs between bases to laying cable for new construction, modularity is key. One task might simply require a flatbed for transporting materials, while another~~ might ~~need a specialized toolhead for trenching and a rear payload for spools of wire or tubing.</p>~~		LAMP's modularity will allow it to serve a wide range of needs on the Moon. LAMP robots might:

	=== Previous Designs: ===		* Enforce general safety (like patrolling safety zone borders, decommissioning or disabling rogue agents, or developing and maintaining reliable infrastructure)
			* Collect data (for use in research, decision-making processes, and policy refinement)
			* Distribute resources (by hauling tools, materials, or power across the lunar surface)
			* Act as communication relays (before communication infrastructure is in place and during its development, or in especially remote locations)

			LAMP's modularity allows it to complete a large variety of tasks. For example, materials transport may require a flatbed or dump bed, communications infrastructure development may need a specialized toolhead for trenching and a rear payload for spools of wire or tubing.

			=== Influential/Previous Designs: ===

	* [[LAMP v1]] (A.K.A. Astra)		* [[LAMP v1]] (A.K.A. Astra)

	<p>~~A critical aspect of the~~ design ~~process is ensuring that LAMP remains versatile~~ for ~~multiple~~ tasks on the Moon~~. Any design choices should avoid being overly specific to one task~~. Specialized tools for LAMP should always be built as attachments that can be easily ~~removed when not needed~~. Any additions to the main frame should be designed to ~~serve~~ multiple purposes.</p>		<p>LAMP's design revolves around its versatility for ranges of tasks on the Moon. Specialized tools for LAMP should always be built as attachments that can be easily interchanged to maintain said versatility. Any permanent additions to the main frame should be carefully designed to function across multiple purposes.</p>

	~~<p>Another key aspect of building this platform is maintaining simplicity without compromising its ability to meet the demands of lunar infrastructure. This approach helps in several ways: </p>~~

	~~# It keeps manufacturing costs down by simplifying the process.~~
	~~# Simpler parts are easier to make durable,~~
	~~# Re-using simpler parts across different areas of the robot becomes easier, and~~
	~~# By applying points 2 and 3, repairing the robot on the Moon becomes much simpler.~~

	~~=== Major Systems: ===~~
	~~These aforementioned design principles should be taken into consideration when designing the major systems of LAMP. These include, but are not limited to:~~

	* [[Heating and Cooling]]		To meet the demands of lunar infrastructure, LAMP must maintain simplicity without compromising its abilities in order to:

	* [[Locomotion]]		# Keep manufacturing costs down.
	* [[Sensor I/O]]		# Encourage simpler parts, which are ultimately easier to make durable and repair.
	* [[Onboard Computing]]		# Encourage extension through the system's modularity.__FORCETOC__
	* [[Power Distribution and ~~Management]]~~
