# Drive Systems

In FTC, the first part of your robot that you will start off with programming is your drive train. There are two very popular styles of drive trains in FTC, the tank drive train and the mecanum drive train.

Luckily, our [Commonly Programmed Modules](https://ftc-code.gitbook.io/tech-toolbox/please-visit-the-new-link) section already explains the mecanum and tank drive train in extensive detail, so here we will just provide links to go to the correct pages.
