==Robot Combat Kits==
Many people don't have the fabrication or design experience to make a robot on their own so starting out with a kit is a great way to get into the sport. Be sure to check out your local event to see what weight-classes are supported. Make sure you know what is included in your kit. Most don't come with radios, batteries, or battery chargers.
