When NOT to use lerobot
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project requires hardware that does not have a community-maintained plugin and you do not have the resources to develop one.
- When you prefer a tool that does not rely on external plugins for hardware support, as LeRobot's functionality is extended through these plugins.
- If you are working in an environment where Python and PyPI are not suitable or available for installation.
