Below is the first parts list on on the README. I started by going down the list and buying all of the things I didn't already have. However, the first link includes 2 URT-1 boards, which I believe serve the same purpose as the Motor Control Boards in the second link. At any rate, all of the videos I watched use the URT-1 board, and not the other Motor Control Boards. The URT-1 boards come with USB cables and the ports are not USB C, making the third link unnecessary. The URT-1s don't have a barrel jack power supply, making the fourth link unnecessary.

It would be nice to list the requirement of a six-volt power supply with leads, since that's something I don't have.

If the linked motor-controller boards are meant as alternatives, it would be nice to have some instructions for installing drivers, which I haven't been able to find.
