Bring up one subsystem at a time

Verify power, communication, motors and sensors before permitting normal robot motion.

Controlled sequence

Pre-power→First power→Motor check→Sensor check→First motion

Checkpoint	Continue only when
Pre-power	Polarity, protection, grounding, connectors and mechanical clearances are verified
First power-on	Rails are stable, no component overheats and the system can be stopped immediately
Motor and drive check	Direction, encoder feedback and commanded speed agree with the configuration
Sensor check	Expected ROS 2 topics update with plausible frames, rates and values
First motion	The robot moves at reduced limits in a controlled area and stops as expected

Record hardware revision, firmware commit, software release, robot profile and every measured result. Stop at the first unexpected state and use common bring-up failures to collect evidence before changing multiple variables.

Not yet a released real-robot procedure

The owning software repository marks real-robot drivers and control as in progress. Treat these pages as the acceptance structure for tested contributions, not proof that every physical configuration is supported today.
