There's another guy who's been blowing up the /r/electronics subreddit for making his own pick'n'place machine.

It makes me wonder if their endgame is productizing their projects, or trying to "make it" as YouTubers, or they are just having fun and documenting the process of their fun-having.

He's already productized it, mainly the flight computer: https://bps.space/shop

It's not a bad a early career move, especially if you're still in college--much better than a paper resume.

Peter Stripol is my favorite of these types of channels. Guy built (and flew!) an airplane out of styrofoam.

Not offhand, but if you search for reddit user /r/sphawes or YouTube page "Stephen the Robot", you should be able to find it.
