The specifications.

Hardware, build and software on one sheet. Every fact links to where we found it.

RoboPrime is a 3D-printed humanoid based on an ATmega328P. Its parts are listed as STL models, and the hardware list specifies 21 MG90S servo motors. The firmware can be compiled and uploaded with Arduino IDE, and the robot can be controlled through Bluetooth.
