Hi all,

I’m Klajdi. I’ve been building **[Robotheca](https://robotheca.org)**, a free catalogue of open-source robots you can actually build, and the software around them. It’s still in beta, and before going further I’d love to hear from people who build robots for real.

**What’s there today**

- 475 robots: arms, quadrupeds, humanoids, rovers, drones…
- 800+ robotics software projects and 75+ AI models
- For each robot: the CAD/STL files, the parts list (with prices when the creator gives them), the hardware and software licences, the build guide and difficulty, and tags like ROS 2 or URDF
- Licences are read from each project’s own files. When they’re unclear, the page says “Unknown” instead of guessing
- Every creator is credited and linked to their own repository

**What I’d love to know**

- Is this useful to you? What’s good, what’s confusing, what’s missing?
- Which robots or packages should be there and aren’t?
- What would you like to see more of: simulation-ready robots (URDF, Gazebo), ROS 2 distro support, cost comparisons, beginner build paths, datasets…?
- Is anything wrong on a page you know well?

Every reply helps decide what I build next. Thanks!
