Mechanical engineering is one. The problem is gaining buy-in from the old guard that your newfangled tech will make their lives easier, not harder. To do so, you might need to get a mechanical engineering degree and work as one for a few years. Reminds me of how FarmLogs was started by someone who grew up on a farm. Ultimately the block is communication/persuasion, not technical though.

Mech e problems are more regulatory and data driven. Lack of testing data and consensus amongst experts are what good back innovation. Mechanical stuff kills people, even if it’s has software people blame the gun not the bad software
