# Build Instructions

> *Not available yet — this is a placeholder.*
>
> OOMWOO is currently at the *design / RFC stage*, not the build-it-yourself stage.
> Step-by-step build instructions will arrive once the first
> [Bill of Materials](BOM.md) and parts are validated (*first BoM targeted ~mid-July*)
> and the modules are proven on real hardware.

## Where the project is right now

- *Design + interfaces:* [ARCHITECTURE.md](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
- *Parts list (draft):* [BoM.md](BOM.md)
- *Modules being built (RFCs):* [README → Requests for Contributions](README.md#requests-for-contributions)
- *Design decisions + research:* [docs/design-document.md](docs/design-document.md)

## What you can do now

- *Star / watch* the repo to follow along — that's the best way to know when build
  instructions land.
- *Contribute:* pick a module from the [RFC list](README.md#requests-for-contributions)
  and dive in — every skill level welcome.
- *Join the community:* [Discord](https://discord.gg/3y2JKz5T25) and
  [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/makerspet/oomwoo/discussions).
- *Follow the build in public:* [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@makerspet).

## What this page will become

A complete, zero-to-hero guide: sourcing the parts, printing the chassis, assembling the
robot, flashing the firmware, bringing up ROS2, and first clean — with photos and videos.
We'll make it a clear, standalone guide the moment there's something to build.
