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. 
Do remember however, to a large extent a 'robot' is just a computer on
wheels with some very unusual peripherals...  B^}
