Lead-time notes from the package

  • RobStride (maker) K-Scale replaced the stock CAN plug on RS03/RS04 (see wiring PDF). No price upstream.RobStride RS03 actuator (shoulder pitch, shoulder roll, hip roll, hip yaw, L+R; 20 Nm rated / 60 Nm peak, 0.88 kg, 9:1)
  • Package caveat K-Scale Labs shut down in November 2025 and cancelled and refunded K-Bot pre-orders. docs.kscale.dev did not resolve (DNS failure) on 2026-09-24, so all doc content was read from the GitHub source repo kscalelabs/docs (docs/robots/k-bot). The repos are not archived but have been inactive since November 2025.
  • Package caveat RobStride firmware and Motor Studio are third-party (github.com/RobStride), and supply depends on RobStride. K-Scale modified the RS03/RS04 CAN plugs, so stock actuators need re-termination per kbot_wiring.pdf.
