Build one.
Then show us.

      
This manual is not a product page. It is the whole robot — bill of
        materials, printed parts, wiring, PCBs, firmware, ROS, simulation,
        calibration, teleoperation, learning, and the bugs that will bite you
        — written so a stranger can reproduce it. And it is meant to be
        written by more than one of us. Every chapter takes pull requests;
        so does the shelf below.

Four things anyone can bring

    
You do not need the whole robot to contribute. One arm counts.
      A scene counts. Fifty clean demonstrations count.

    

  







  

    

      
The shelf

      

    

    

    

  







  

    
Open challenges

    
Not competitions — the three things the project most
      needs from someone who is not us.

    

  







  

    
The manual, in build order

    
Ten chapters. You cannot wire a frame you have not printed,
      so they run in the order the work does.

    

  







  

    
How to put something here

    

      

        
One file. One pull request. No account.

        
Everything on the shelf is an object in
          website/docs/data/community.json. Add yours, open a PR,
          and it appears. Nothing else needs touching — no build step, no
          CMS, no invitation.

Builds in progress are welcome and wanted. A half-wired
          chassis with a note saying which step was wrong is more useful to the
          next person than a finished photograph.

      

      

        
Fixing the manual counts too

        
If a step was wrong, a part was missing, or a command did not run,
          that is the highest-value contribution there is — every chapter has
          an Edit this page link at the foot that opens the file on GitHub.

        
    
          
  • A wrong torque, a missing washer, a bolt length that does not fit
    • 
          
  • A command that needs a flag on your distro
    • 
          
  • A part that is out of stock, with the substitute that worked
    • 
          
  • A photograph of the step you got stuck on
    •
