It's much cheaper to just get a job with the local construction crew and you get to operate those things for a living.

Set up mine using just these but normal size and use gamers to do the work. Profit!

Or you could go to work in the mining Industry and run full size equipment remotely.
It is here now and will only grow.
You are going to have mines and construction work being done with the equipment operated from the other side of the world.

A lot of equipment has options for on-site remote control now.

Still those are pretty cool!!!

I've run 2 , 3 , 4 and 6 yrd underground remote loaders.

Send the loader in a ball room area that huge boulders are falling every now and then.

Seen them take a pounding.
