# 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.
