TOPS

TOPS (Traverser of Planar Surfaces, 'SPOT' backwards) is Aaed Musa's 3D-printed source-published quadruped. Each of the 12 joints is a custom quasi-direct-drive actuator pairing a 90KV brushless motor with a 3D-printed 9:1 planetary gearbox and an ODrive S1 FOC controller, coordinated by a Teensy 4.1. The repo publishes the CAD assembly, a BOM spreadsheet, a full wiring schematic, and the Teensy control code. Note: the repository ships no license file, so reuse rights are unclear despite the project being presented publicly.

What you get

• A standardized, machine-readable robot schema derived from the source repo.
• A primary assembly 3D asset is available from TOPS CAD Assembly.zip.
• Source-backed bill-of-materials evidence is linked with per-part provenance where available. Prices marked estimated are not yet verified against a vendor.
• A transparent reproducibility score so buildability is a sortable, first-class property.
• Cross-links to the source repo, datasets, models, and forks.
