Build guide

The creator's steps, each with its instructions.

1Prepare 3D printed parts
2Assemble the UGV chassis
3Mount LiDAR sensors
4Install Livox Hub (optional)

The creator's guide is in the repository. It has no license, so all rights stay with the creator: Robotheca doesn't show it here or translate it, and gives its own notes about the robot instead.

Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 18f1a6d. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files10/20
39 CAD source files.
Add the parts to print (STL or 3MF 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.
Software0/15
No code in this repository or linked.
Link to your code, or add it to this repository. Explain in the README how to install and run the software. Say which software framework it uses (ROS 2, LeRobot, Arduino…).
Documentation10/15
README of 1,235 characters with 13 pictures; 4 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).
