+This project aims to provide a low-cost framework for automatic control experiments with small two-wheeled robots. 
 
-### What is this repository for? ###
+It consists of a list of components, step-by-step assembly instructions and the necessary software for getting started with robot control.
 
-This is a project thats aims to create a Robo Rally clone with real robots.
+For a demonstration video of what is possible with these robots see here:

+
+The project aims to be as affordable as possible. The total cost for a single robot is about 30 € or 35 $. This means you can easily build several of them e.g. for doing swarm robotics or cooperative robot experiments. 
+
+### Getting started ###
+For assembly instructions for the robots see the files int the docs/ subfolder of the repository. 
+The first one is [1_ASSEMBLY.md](https://imaginaerraum.de/git/Telos4/RoboRally/src/branch/master/docs/1_ASSEMBLY.md) which explains what components to get and how to assemble them into a robot.
