Hello,<p>I am doing market analysis on the prototyper/hardware-hobbyist/engineer demographic. I would like to research the process of building a prototype from start to finish.<p>Below are some of the questions I wish to ask:
What was the prototype/project? What services do you outsource (or were there any services that you wish you could outsource)? What are the major obstacles that stand out in the building process? How much money did you spend overall and how did you allocate those funds? Do you know many people who also build things? What did you do when the prototype was finished?<p>Please let me know if you would like to chat (or you can comment your answers for everyone). Feel free to link to your blog if it contains details about the process. I would also appreciate referrals to friends who may be working on a prototype or hardware project of some kind.
