I am currently working on the rework of the Asimov 1 Manual to make it much clearer and easier to follow along.
It is currently a WIP, but I would like to gather more feedback on wording and organization of the content. Here is the link:

@lazy\_yuuki I reviewed the manual. It’s getting there. Here is my feedback:
> Need to put labels on each Motor to infer Motor part name (and Motor ID)
1 - Can you add a hyperlink explaining how to set the actuator IDs? Some actuators need to be configured via software.
> Some parts are hard to distinguish whether they belongs to the left or right part. Need to include labels for legs and arms with L and R for these parts.
We should think about whether engraving might be worth it for serial numbers, component parts, SKUs, etc.
> Put the actuator EC-A5013-H17-100 (ID 13)
This points to ID 13, but I’m not sure people will know how to set that ID.
> Using 12 – M4x8 flat bolts,
Nit: I think you mean “using 12 × M4×8 flat head screws” instead of “flat bolts.”
> thighten lightly
For folks who are more advanced, it would be better to define the right torque spec. Also, you have not mentioned Loctite 222.
> Sub Assembly B
There are no pictures for this section, which seems odd compared to the previous steps.
> Step15
This needs to be completed for the leg and foot.
