Model Tractor Pull
This is an engineering and design project in which you will start with a die-cast 1/16th scale toy tractor and add an electric motor, gearbox and rubber tires to create a scale size pulling tractor. All members must complete at least one (1) year in the beginner (electric) and one (1) year in the intermediate (electric) class before being able to exhibit in the advanced division regardless of your grade in school. For example: All first-year members must exhibit as beginners (electric) regardless of grade. Second year members in grades 6-8 will exhibit as intermediates. The earliest you may exhibit in the advanced division is your third year in the project regardless of your grade in school. Champion placings will be awarded in all three (3) divisions with two Grand Champions being awarded. One Grand Champion will be awarded in the beginner division and one Grand Champion will be awarded to the winner of the Intermediate/Advanced Divisions. All posters, notebooks, and display boards must include a reference list indicating where information was obtained, giving credit to original author.
