Field notes
The current build log reports 25% progress, with a rough frame plan completed and electronics selection underway. The page says the README is a draft and that the CAD models and parts list are still being developed, so the under-$900 estimate remains a target rather than a settled bill of materials. Its reuse request spells out acceptable components and says postage is covered in Australia, while international donors pay shipping.
