Field notes
The reference build decomposes a compact wireless camera dolly into a 2WD smart robot chassis, motor driver, tripod adapter, battery box, and ESP32 board. Its displayed bill of materials totals $11.50 before tax and shipping, with supplier-ready search terms and an editable parts list advertised as starter materials. The broader workflow describes human review for safety, manufacturability, campaign media, and launch decisions rather than treating sourcing as a fully automated process.
