Speaking as degreed Enginerd, a home-brewer from childhood, and a

(Not that low-level windshear and "format C:*.* Y/N?" aren't about

We start a little movement, people fall in behind
it, it grows, and BAM!,
homebrew is chic again!
I doubt it. The homebrew/hobbyist movement had a very compelling driving
force: just about the only way to get your own computer was to built it
yourself. That's no longer true. But there is a pretty strong homebrew
aircraft movement, and it also still makes sense for robotics.
