Terms and safety

The ground rules for using this site and its build guides.

✓ Last updated Nov 12, 2026

Educational content

Everything here is for education. Build guides describe what worked for us or what the maker’s documents say. Your parts, skills, and conditions will differ.

You assume the risk

Projects can involve mains electricity, lithium batteries, radio transmitters, vehicles, drones, hot tools, and cutting tools. These can injure you or start fires. Follow the maker’s instructions and your local laws and codes. If you are unsure, stop and ask a qualified person.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is medical, legal, electrical, or financial advice. Offline AI is a retrieval aid. It is never a medical authority.

Accuracy

We date-stamp facts and correct mistakes in place. Prices, specs, software, and rules change. Check the date on the page and the linked source.

Our content

Radio and drone rules

Radio bands, power limits, and drone rules differ by country. You are responsible for operating legally where you are.
