If time was not a limiting factor – then I would love to work (with a small team) on building a homemade/lowcost pick-and-place machine, which again would enable small scale fabrication (maybe more obvious for fablab).
And its a nice challenge too – image recognition software required (machine learning sweet), as well as all the mechanical precision setup, and pneumatic stuff for the picking..
