Each board folder contains its own README with schematics, BOM, and fabrication files.
Libraries
We for the most part use Würth's github library since we mostly use Würth's components in our PCBs. Make sure to clone the Würth repo OUTSIDE of this repo. The Würth library does not contain WR-TBL (aka terminal blocks). To get these you must download it from Würth manually and then move the files into the correct Würth library folders. The reason these are not included by default is because it's ~3GB in size so make sure to have the Würth library repo OUTSIDE of this one. The rest of our component libraries are either self made or downloaded via the impartGUI plugin.

Questions
How big is the Pin header holder PCB?
It measures 40 × 20 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pin header holder use?
5 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pin header holder KiCad files?
From the vortexntnu/vortex-newtype-drone-PCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pin-header-holder/pin-header-holder.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB-template/template.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pin header holder design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask vortexntnu before reusing the design.
