Re: Fun Personal Project

A steam engine is always a fascinating machining project. Or a small gasoline engine.

Or, maybe solve a problem with a robot and unintentionally get yourself rich. Like a Roomba - oh, that's already taken.

How about a robot that autonomously screws down Trex-like deck boards? A contractor would happily pay $1500 for such an item - dump in a pile of screws, set out the boards, plug it in and walk away... It could be plenty slow.

A robot that installs asphalt roof shingles? Autonomously?

A snow plowing robot? Even R/C, but from the comfort of a warm, dry house.

A fully autonomous dog for the yard?
