+These parts you may either already have, depend on where you're located for a good deal, depend on personal preference, or are optional.
+
+### A gamepad or remote controller
+
+This is technically not a requirement, especially if you're planning on making the rover autonomous, but is highly recommended. Any USB based option should work here.
+
+Some options are getting an XBox controller with a usb dongle or for longer range; the pricier [Spektrum WS2000](https://www.spektrumrc.com/product/ws2000-wireless-simulator-usb-dongle/SPMWS2000.html) with [Spektrum DXs](https://www.spektrumrc.com/product/dxs-transmitter-only/SPMR1010.html) transmitter. Many alternatives exist and will work ok.

+## Wiring
+
+We recommend getting 18AWG and 20AWG wire.
