Armadillo-style Launch on Mars

I am interested in the idea that the early colonists on Mars might be able to develop a rocket like the Mod that Armadillo have produced:

I was wondering how complex such a rocket would be...

I am wondering could the early Mars community build the fuel tanks, the tripod legs, the nose cone etc.  What else would be involved in the rocket?  Gyroscopes presumably are v. complex items that it would be simpler to import from Earth.

One might imagine a system that could then deliver rocket fuel to LMO, to fuel transit craft.

Later, perhaps the community could develop human rated capsules.
