Teach it.
Give it character.

Build Guide
From printed parts
to first waddle.
Follow the complete Darkwing guide, check off assembly steps, track the BOM, and record motor bring-up. Signed-in builders keep one progress record across browsers while existing local checkboxes are imported automatically.

Things your duck can do—and wear.
Every creation has immutable revisions, compatibility details, a license, remix lineage, and separate counts for stars, collections, downloads, and deployments.

Create locally, share openly
OpenBDX Studio:
create and connect.
PlaCo, Duckmation, project files, and robot access stay in the offline-first desktop app. OpenBDX handles discovery, attribution, conversation, rankings, and distribution.
Browser simulation
Run compatible ONNX policies and exported emotes in MuJoCo, then add browser Gamepad mapping without giving the social site robot access.
Pay n' Spray in the browser
Try color schemes against the full Darkwing model, compare palettes, and move directly between paint ideas and the build guide without leaving OpenBDX.
Community
Ask, explain, and leave a trail.
Forum answers solve today's problem. Builder journals preserve the entire journey—including failures, substitutions, and the exact artifacts used.

Credit that travels
Remix freely.
Keep the origin visible.
Stars remain honest: they belong to the artifact that earned them. Original creators separately receive downstream reach as descendants are collected, exported, remixed, and deployed.

Simulation and deployment claims are not safety certification.
OpenBDX should validate file contracts and show real-world claims clearly, but the public browser must not directly command a physical robot in the first release.
