It appears many resources imported from the VENUS labware library have no catalogue number, and are therefore not usable or reliable. These will need to be removed in the future. We will need to rely on a combination of reliable third party databases, information from manufacturers, and crowd-sourced definitions.
As per @BioCam's definition, going forward all resources will need "PLR-definition of the physical object + metadata needed to use it". Camillo has documented all resources that qualify in the associated README files in the pylabrobot.resources submodule, complete with identifiers and pictures.
I will be adding exceptions to resource definitions which I believe no one has verified. This will give people the chance to communicate that the definitions are correct, or what changes are needed.
Resources for which we have not heard anything will be removed on September 1st.
