I was also thinking about melting and molding the metal into a helicopter rotor shape, so that it drifts down instead of the usual WHHOORROOOSHHH-SMACK

Except we know from billions of cases that no child has grown to over 10 feet tall, and technological advancement seems to be getting more rapid. Perhaps you're right, but until there are signs of your hypothesis, no dice.

You must add feasible/near-feasible ways of terraforming Mars and Venus. Make extensive use of self-replicating robots using asteroid minerals and molecular assemblers.

To an extent, yes. There will be a thin "twilight" region around the border of the planet between the dark and light side where the temperature might be suitable for some form of life.
But a tidally locked planet is going to have to be very close to its parent star to be tidally locked in the first place. So it will probably be fairy hot. There's other variables to take into consideration too, like the temperature of the sun and the gas thickness, density, and composition of the planet's atmosphere. a Thick greenhouse gas type planet will most certainly have lesser fluctuations in its temperature between sides because heat will radiate away slowly, giving more time for it to spread to the other side of the planet through atmospheric currents. Or, a planet without any atmosphere at all, well, that's not going to be able to support much life at the surface because the UV radiation will ruin a lot of the biochemistry.
