Robot Inventory

The complete robot inventory, including IP assignments, hardware specifications, and current status, is maintained in our centralized tracking system:

📊 Robot Inventory Spreadsheet

This spreadsheet contains:

• Individual robot IP assignments (192.168.8.100-149 range)
• Hardware configuration details
• Current operational status
• Team assignments during hackathon events

Getting Started

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have access to the required credentials and network access
2. Datacenter Setup: Begin with the datacenter/ components for the main cluster
3. Edge Gateway: Configure the edge-gateway/ for robot management
4. Robot Configuration: Use automation/ playbooks for robot fleet setup
5. Individual Robots: Follow robot/ documentation for specific robot configurations

For detailed setup instructions, refer to the README files in each component directory.
