Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit d5117c4. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files20/20
3 printable parts (STL, 3MF), 605 CAD source files.
Robot description0/15
No URDF.
Add a URDF: the robot can then be seen in 3D and tried in the browser.
Parts list0/20
No parts list in the repository or linked.
Most points to gain: Link to your parts list, or add it to the repository (a CSV or a Markdown table) with quantities, prices and where to buy each part.
Software5/15
Instructions to install or run it.
Link to your code, or add it to this repository. Say which software framework it uses (ROS 2, LeRobot, Arduino…).
Documentation0/15
README of 339 characters with 0 pictures; 0 build steps.
Write a README of at least 1,500 characters: what the robot does and how to build it. Split the build into at least 3 steps. Show the robot and its assembly in pictures in the README.
Simulation0/5
No simulation files.
Add a simulation model (MuJoCo, Gazebo, Webots or Isaac).
Licenses10/10
Hardware: GPL-3.0-only; software: GPL-3.0-only.

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

The documents describe only CAD files: open Green/Inventor/Workspace/v4/RobotV4.iam in Autodesk Inventor or Fusion 360 to view the design.
No software installation, firmware flashing, configuration, or startup steps are described.

Robotheca doesn't review code. Read it before running it.

Every file of the project: code, CAD, electronics, guides, at commit d5117c4.
