Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Getting fed up strimming our 4 acre, very steep field.
I looked at remote control mowers. At the time they were all well over £6k, so I thought I’d try building one. Well, I’ve done it and it works well, but it’s taken three years and cost over a grand so far in parts.
Might have been cheaper to get a goat!
Yeah, but over $1k is less than $6K. So… Worth it?
Well, yes - but only if you don’t cost time and mistakes… (Actually, I don’t, it’s been a lot of fun and I’ve learned heaps)
Now open source you work, and help future people!
Um, how? I’ve strapped physical electrocal devices and petrol powered motors together. Nothing I’ve done is unique, I hold no IP or copyright and anyone can copy it.
If you mean show others - then sure, I’ve done that!
Do you have a write-up or anything if someone wanted to start building their own?
It’s something I mean to do, but learning video skills is something I haven’t yet put time to. There’s loads of people on Youtube already who have done exactly that, so whilst I do intend to do a blog piece at some point, I’m not sure it’s good enough to compete with them. (Or rather, my presentation skills aren’t).
But anyway, have a picture. :)
