How deep will the regolith in the sandbox be?

We will be using approximately the same quantity of JSC-1A as was used last year. When considering an autonomous lunar excavation scenario, there will be areas that can be excavated to an indeterminate depth and areas where an obstacle may be encountered at a very shallow depth. For this reason, the excavation hardware should not depend on a specific depth of regolith.

Comments

Clarification of "an autonomous lunar excavation scenario".

Are you simply speculating about shallow obstacles that may be encountered on the moon or will there be obstacles in the sandbox?
