Tractor Construction Set pedagogy includes:

  1. 3D printing and ability to recycle plastic including high temp and high throughput printing
  2. 2x2' personal torch table for small parts
  3. A 2x2' Farmbot for planting plants and circuit components, aka dual-purpose pick-and-place machine
  4. Ball bearings, off the shelf, for various bearings
  5. 3D printed geardowns to 1000 lb lifetime pull
  6. FreeCAD mastery, including modules for design
  7. Design Guides for 101 on everything.
  8. Teaching on production technique and assist - jigs and logistics devices
  9. Open source 3D printed tools.
  10. Scalable welder
  11. Induction Power Cube for up to 50 lb melt- solar powered. 3000 sf of RLF provides 24 kw of solar at least.
  12. Open Source Inverter for solar power
  13. Open Source VAWT for solar power, building integrated addition as solar/wind power tower with face of tower decked with solar. This would be a top of ziggurat or other
  14. Scalable Power Cubes
  15. RTK GPS controllers
  16. PTO-shafted motors, reversible, 1400 in lb
  17. Universal Wheel Unit
  18. Battery pack module for DC motors (treadmill)
  19. 3D printed belts and tracks
  20. Hydraulics
  21. Small engine with electronic fuel injection
  22. Precision machine + grinder attachment, multipurpose. High end cnc mill equivalent. What is it?

The final exam is making a simple engine and hydraulic motor power backup for a Slow Solar version that drives the thing with RTK GPS automation for CSA route delivery as a viable business model accessible to all.
