# Getting Started
* **Tools:** Teams need a basic set of mechanical and electrical tools, such as hex wrenches, drills, screwdrivers, nut drivers, and wiring tools to build, assemble, and iterate on robot parts and control systems.
* **Robot Structure:** The robot’s structural framework (often built from extrusion, patterned components, brackets, and fasteners) forms the chassis and mounting surface for mechanisms, and must be strong, rigid, and easy to maintain.
* **Mobility:** The drivetrain is the subsystem that enables robot movement. Teams choose from common configurations (like tank, swerve, or other designs) that balance maneuverability, power, and complexity.
