Agree fully.

Here are all those people worrying about the lunar teleoperator
being slow.  I bet that for about 100 megabucks or so we could
have had a slow remote builder on the Moon for the last
whole decade.  It could have moved slowly, using a few dozen watts
of thermal or photovoltaic power, and those cute wax-powered
thermal motors, painted black on one side, white on the other.
Imagine what we could have done in those 3,000,000 one-minute
manipulations.
