9	Summary – The project pitch – short (140 characters?)	A construction set that can be used to build any tractror, bulldozer, backhoe, or other heavy machine using a minimum set of interchangeable and scalable modules, at the scale from 1 to 200 hp.
10	Keywords – A comma separated list of synonyms – tags for search engine optimization	open source tractor, open source microtractor, open source backhoe, open source bulldozer
11	Description – The detailed description of the project	The Tractor Construction Set is a construction set for heavy machinery. It is a product service system, as opposed to a single machine or module. It builds upon the Power Cube, Universal Rotor, Modular Frames, and Hydraulic Controls already developed in prior instaces of LifeTrac. The Scope of this is any electromechanical device from a micro-tractor to bulldozer, including many rotor-based machines such as trenchers, hammer mills, sawmills, well-drilling rigs, cement mixers, and many other machines used in agriculture, construction, and other materials handling processes. The vision is to produce a user-centered, reconfigurable, lifetime-design construction set that any producer can use without running into exorbitant costs or proprietary parts. The goals ar to create OSE's first highly-functional development team that makes this a reality, by creating a collaboration architecture of all the required development aspects that can lead to a product that meets and exceeds industry standards.
