Well, the answer depends on the robot. If your robot comes as a kit, you might not need any additional tools at all, or only those supplied with the kit (such as an Allen wrench or a Phillips head screwdriver).

Really nice young guy. ''I don't want to see him again.''

* __hand clamps__ or a __bench clamp__, to hold things while you're working on them. I find the blue and yellow ''Irwin Quick-Grips'' pretty handy and come in many sizes
