 # BOM V2.0
 
-> Reflects the **v1.1** hardware. What changed from v1.0: a smaller-diameter **MK8** drive gear (pull strength 11 lb → 15 lb), **one larger 633ZZ bearing per arm** instead of two small bearings, and **pre-cut PTFE tubes** (no razor-cutting). Quantities are per unit. Every purchasable part links to the [Valar Systems store](https://valarsystems.com).
