# Maglev Parts

> Parts catalog for hardware founders, built by Maglev (https://trymaglev.com/). Compute modules, motors and motor drivers, robot actuators and transmissions, and drone components from makers worldwide. Every part carries sources, dated prices, country of origin, NDAA / Blue UAS status and a landed-cost estimate. No key or login is needed for anything.

## Rules for agents
- Prices are what a cited source showed on the date given. Quote them with that date.
- "unknown" means we could not confirm it. Do not guess a value.
- Origin: `origin.basis` is "made" when a source states the factory country, "hq" when only the maker's home country is known.
- Ordering: build a request with build_rfq and show it to your person. Maglev returns one price for the whole build, fixed before they commit.
