  • Complete Design and build of Spark Tractor

Goal Completion

  • Marcin was able to finish the Ironworker on Wednesday and have a proof of concept cut (AWESOME!)
  • Backhoe was not finished due to some serious issues with getting the pivot to align... great lessons learned though. Also, have the majority of it completed, approx one more full day and it will be operational.
  • Due to the Back Hoe we weren't able to begin the Microtrac. Have suspended the 6 in 60 for the moment to concentrate on making the Spark tractor a great finished product. Will continue at the culmination of the Spark Tractor.
