| Soldering iron and solder | Being able to solder your own circuits together or take parts from existing circuits gives you a huge advantage when building your robot. |
| Pliers | It's good to have a selection of cutters, crimpers, strippers, etc... |
| Saws | Several types of saws can be used; table saw, chop saw, jigsaw/band saw, etc... |
| Screwdriver assortment | Screwdrivers are a necessity, I prefer a single screwdriver which has many interchangeable bits. |
| Drill Driver | Along with this you will also want to have a drill index and an assortment of hole saws. |
| Adjustable wrench | Either a set of wrenches or an adjustable wrench will work. |
| Hamer | I used a large round peened hammer to shape the metal plate for the robot's face. |
| Sandpaper | Sandpaper is useful for removing sharp edges and burs. |
| Heat gun | This was used to bend the plastic for the robot's clear face plate. |
