I can see you're passionate about this and that's a great trait to have as an entrepreneur. I'd invite you to consider that most of life isn't linear. It's full of twists and detours but if you keep your vector pointed in the generally right direction, over time you'll end up somewhere awesome.

I am in a similar position-- a full-time roboticist and an moonlighting entrepreneur on the side. My goal here is to pick up marketing and sales skills that when the right robotics business opportunity presents itself...I'm ready for it.

If there's anything I've learned by watching the string of robotics companies close shop recently, it's that business model is more important than the technology.

Don't give up!
