Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 20ccf1c. It isn't a rating of the robot. Counted out of 80 points and scaled to 100: the parts that don't apply to this robot are left out. How we score

3D and CAD files20/20
2 printable parts (STL, 3MF), 36 CAD source files.
Robot descriptionNot counted
No URDF. Not counted: the score is made of the parts that apply.
Optional: add a URDF, and the robot can 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…).
Documentation0/15
README of 452 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.
SimulationNot counted
No simulation files. Not counted: the score is made of the parts that apply.
Optional: add a simulation model (MuJoCo, Gazebo, Webots or Isaac).
Licenses10/10
Hardware: Apache-2.0; software: Apache-2.0.

Software that runs on this robot

No software from Robotheca's catalogue found in this robot's files yet. Links come from its robot.yaml, its dependency files read as text, or Robotheca's editors.

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