About the project

Open-source project for building a 42 cm miniature BDX droid robot under $400, including CAD files, BOM, embedded runtime and reinforcement-learning walking policies trained in MuJoCo.

Useful for
  • Build the robot from the BOM and guide, printing parts on a 3D printer
  • Train a custom walking policy in MuJoCo and deploy it on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W
  • Test sim2real by running a pretrained ONNX policy via v2_rl_walk_mujoco.py

2.5 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 25, 2026, 12:34 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100July 28, 2026October 25, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 11:02–12:27: 4475 → 4476 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 2.1× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending Python today: #6, +44 stars.
  • About 5 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 164. +105% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
