Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 564ef4a. 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…).
Documentation0/15
README of 161 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).
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 STM32F103RBT6 via SWD interface
Connect ESCs to the four ESC control interfaces
Power the board with a lithium battery
Establish wireless communication using the 2.4 GHz module

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