Heat shrink is a must have for keeping cables nice and snug.

Take a look at the [wiring overview](../electrical/wiring/README.md#overview) to get an idea of what you will be building. You'll need crimps and connectors for DuPont, Bullet, XT30, and JST styles. Crimping doesn't have a 100% success rate, so we recommend getting extras or buying a kit if you're planning on using them for other projects as well. Here are some options for each set you need:
