The wheels on that thing look like those little hamster exercise wheels. Is that how its powered?

The vehicle was powered by batteries which were recharged during the lunar day by a solar cell array mounted on the underside of the lid.

They actually sent another tank after this one. There was a third one which was launched prior to either of these, but the rocket exploded.
