What it can do

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Printable mobile robot built from 3D-printed parts, designed as a block-based robot with parts attached by two screws each.
Drives on two continuous-rotation servo wheels, with the wheels mounted reversed so the hub sits inside the chassis.
Has a sensor accessory with holes for mounting various sensors, and a power bank accessory mount.

This repository has no parts list Robotheca can read yet.

Notes written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Two continuous-rotation servos for the wheels.
Icezum Alhambra FPGA board (a similar board such as an Arduino is also mentioned as an option).
Optional 2600mAh power bank for power, held by a 25x25 cm accessory.
Velcro strips used to hold the electronics in place.

Electronics are held on the chassis with Velcro rather than elastic bands; no wiring connections are described in the documents.

Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit d56222a. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files20/20
18 printable parts (STL, 3MF), 22 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 167 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: LGPL-3.0-only; software: LGPL-3.0-only.

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Print the chassis STL files from the repository's stl folder on a 3D printer.
Assemble the robot following the original version's wiki steps, using M3 screws and nuts instead of staples.
Attach Velcro pieces where the outward-pointing arrows are drawn.
The documents describe no software installation or firmware steps for running the robot.

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

Every file of the project: code, CAD, electronics, guides, at commit d56222a.
