Document the Official PX4 Developer Kit program: a new top-level Developer Kits section listing the certified kits (ModalAI Starling 2 Max, DroneBlocks DEXI 5, Holybro X500 v2), a new DEXI 5 page, and a manufacturer-facing page describing the program requirements, benefits, and eligibility. Restructure the hardware navigation so all certified kits live in one place instead of being split across Complete Vehicles and Kits, drop discontinued build guides from the sidebar (still linked from the kit build guides page), and group the manufacturer guides under a new Manufacturers section in Development > Hardware.

Kit Builds (Multicopter)
Multicopter kits contain almost all the parts needed for building a PX4-compatible vehicle.
They provide a gentle introduction to building drones, as all the parts are known to work well together.
:::tip Batteries not included! Kits generally do not include:
- Batteries — shipping regulations mean that these must usually be source separately
- RC Controllers — Transmitters/receivers are not included in kit builds to save costs. Many users already have a handheld ground unit, and this will need a compatible module on the vehicle.

::: tip Kits certified by the PX4 team are listed in PX4 Developer Kits. :::

Build Guides
The build guides below show how to assemble a number of kits. Many kits vary only a little between revisions (for example, the new kit might simply upgrade the flight controller used, and is otherwise identical), so these are likely to be useful for building the kits in the section above.
