Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 9b04732. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files0/20
No printable parts or CAD files.
Most points to gain: Add the parts to print (STL or 3MF files). Add the CAD source (STEP, or the CAD program's own files) so people can change the design.
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.
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…).
Documentation10/15
README of 657 characters with 2 pictures; 6 build steps.
Write a README of at least 1,500 characters: what the robot does and how to build it.
Simulation0/5
No simulation files.
Add a simulation model (MuJoCo, Gazebo, Webots or Isaac).
Licenses0/10
Hardware: no license; software: no license.
Add a license for the hardware (e.g. CERN-OHL-S-2.0 or CC-BY-SA-4.0). Add a license for the software (e.g. MIT or Apache-2.0).

Framework: Not stated
License: NONE

How to run it

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Flash firmware to STM32F405 flight controller using provided schematic and manual
Configure flight controller parameters according to manual instructions
Power on the system and calibrate ESC and sensors as described in the manual

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