I sometimes feel the same way Eide. I'm like damn I should have been doing that Lego robotics stuff as a kid and should be programming little drones and 3d printers and stuff right now. Then I remember that all these things take commitment, like you'll end up doing a lot of work just to learn how to do simple things so it's not like one day you'll get your li'l robotics kit and the next day you're doing a cool demo on youtube. It takes time, so do it if you're committed to learning or just for fun rather than just from a superficial "cool!" perspective
