Being restricted when it comes to money is what might make me look into building my own pick and place machine because i don't want to dish out so many thousands of euros on a hobby project. Who knows where that will lead me. When i was poor i wouldn't even think of it because i wouldn't be able to because it still costs money and lots of time. As someone else said a lot of inventors of the past were wealthy because they had both the time and money to spend on innovating. Innovation out of necessity is a thing but i'd say it's rarer nowadays.
