Vendor price where stated, else the package list price. n/a = lines with no vendor there.
TimeAssembly time not stated16 steps without a timePackage caveat: The LeKiwi BOM's SO-101 teleoperation set lists 12 identical STS3215 servos from a 6-pack listing. The SO-ARM100 README specifies mixed leader gearing for the SO-101 (1/191 on joints 1 and 3, 1/147 on joints 4-6). Buy the leader servos per the SO-ARM100 BOM if you want the SO-101 leader behaviour.Package caveat: The LeKiwi docs and examples use so100_leader for the teleop arm. In lerobot 0.6.x so100_leader and so101_leader map to the same class, so either works.
