Hobbyists want programmable robots but commercial kits are expensive and limited in customization. Build open-source robot designs with 3D printable parts and Arduino compatibility. Sell hardware bundles and premium add-ons to makers and educators. Start with one base model and basic movement capabilities. Risk is competing with cheaper mass-produced toys.
