uhh.. it matters on the robot you are talking about.
well the drive system( how the robot moves ex)wheels. treads.))are normally with motors. mostly the drills, chips, fp motors.
the arm(s).... well, there's endless ways of makeing an arm move. motor driven and pneumatic cylinders seem to be the most popular. of course, springs, gravity, and many other forces can be used too. and how they are controlled?
motors would normally be controlled to speed controllers aka victors.

ehh. i need to do hw. sumone take on from here
