Re: "Essential Tools"
I surprised no one has mentioned this so far: if you cut metal stock to make parts for your robot, you will need a selection of files to remove the sharp edges. If you cut large holes in metal stock (to save weight or to provide access to things on the other side) then you will probably also need a deburring tool, for the same reason.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
