Robot combat uses many parts used in other hobbies, such as remote-control Radios, but to meet unique needs of the hobby there are many specialty suppliers.

The shops below are grouped by region and were all checked as open and selling as of October 2026. Most ship internationally, but shipping and import costs can be high, so check for a shop in your own region first. For kits, see Kits; for a full shopping list and rough budget, see What Your First Robot Costs.
