Please update the bill of materials and instruction of installing the webcam

Describe the bug Current bom does not include M4 screw set which is required to install the wheel. The WiKi does not have instruction for installing the webcam. The bom or 3D print file misses the screw for the webcam.

Here are some other issues I encountered while finishing the hardware. It would be great if we could add instructions and fixes for the following steps:

  1. Provide instructions on how to use the four clamps.

  2. Provide detailed instructions on how to attach the moving part to the IKEA cart. An image showing how to position the round plate on the cart would be very helpful. For my cart, I had to cut out holes to secure the plate (perhaps IKEA carts vary slightly over time?).

  3. Directly using the provided 3D-printed files results in the omnidirectional wheel being lower than the IKEA cart wheels. I adjusted the stand height from 34 mm to 40 mm and used a 4 mm washer for the IKEA wheel to make it level.

  4. Provide instructions on how to build extended wires. Currently, I use heat-shrink tubing (requires an extra purchase) to connect the extended cable to the female connector.

  5. The estimated build time from scratch may be longer. For me, it took about 12 hours for just assembling. Over 30 hours for 3D printing.

  6. The total cost should be adjusted higher when shipping fees are included.

  7. Some tips about the order of assembly would be great—for example, the order of configuring and assembling the servos, and the order of assembling the wheel base.

  8. It would also be helpful if the required length of each M3 screw were provided.

Thanks for your detailed suggestions! We will release a assembly tutorial video soon to address some of these issues. After that I will further polish the text tutorial for the info that is still missing.
