Borrow or contract specialist equipment
| Disposition | Manufacturer | Order code | Purpose | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BORROW / MAKERSPACE AVAILABILITY CHECK | Keysight | E36313A | programmable isolated current-limited source; use output 2 or 3 | model/serial; calibration state; output isolation; programmed 0.25 A limit behavior; operator competence |

| BORROW / METROLOGY SERVICE | Mitutoyo | 342-271-30 | crimp-height measurement | current calibration; measurement-system check; recorded crimp heights |
| CONTRACT TEST / BORROW QUALIFIED LAB | Mark-10 | WT-205M + CERT | controlled axial crimp pull tests | calibration certificate; grip suitability; 25 +/-6 mm/min test evidence |

The expensive mistakes this cart blocks
| Do not buy yet | Why | What releases it | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| all 25 production actuators | mechanical fit articles, final actuator/transmission selection and representative bench characterization are incomplete | printed/inspected fit check plus frozen axis allocation and approved representative commissioning sequence | DO NOT BUY YET |
| eight walking-power board assemblies | production stackup, TPS259482L paired application acceptance, thresholds, brake/dump and thermal validation remain open | manufacturer application disposition; DFM; FAI/X-ray; bench power/regeneration/thermal evidence | DO NOT BUY YET |
| full structural metal package | materials, tolerances, received actuator fit and structural capacity are not released | maker/commercial DFM, controlled drawings, material records, fit coupon and qualified review | QUOTE ONLY - DO NOT FABRICATE |
| onboard battery, BMS, charger and onboard-energy hardware | active development configuration is tether-first; energy/protection/charge architecture remains unresolved | selected source/protection/charger/interlock/thermal architecture and qualified review | DO NOT BUY YET |
| production-length custom harness | cable coupons, crimp processes, final measured routes and hot-current/fault derating are unexecuted | accepted coupons, route measurements, derating, continuity/insulation/flex/retention evidence | SAMPLES ONLY - DO NOT PRODUCTION-CUT |
| DYNAMIXEL Starter Set as the energization source | the bundled fixed 12 V supply is not the project-required programmable 0.25 A first-power current-limit evidence | use a qualified programmable isolated source; starter supply receives no first-power credit | REJECT FOR FIRST ENERGIZATION |
| extra X3P/X4P 10-packs for the first bench | U2D2 and Power Hub packages already include short/convertible cable candidates sufficient for a one-actuator interface preflight | received contents inspection and later production harness quantity definition | NOT NEEDED IN FIRST CART |
| specialist crimp/pull/metrology tool purchases | process route is not selected and contract/borrow options avoid premature multi-thousand-dollar tooling | process-owner make/buy decision after supplier/harness-shop capability responses | BORROW / CONTRACT FIRST |

The U2D2 listing says USB-C upgrade but still lists a Micro USB cable in package contents; receipt inspection is mandatory. The Power Hub is limited to a single-actuator commissioning role here and is rejected as a whole-body power aggregator.
