# Starting a Robot Assembly
Enough exposition, let's get to the good stuff. In this tutorial, we will start a bot that we will CAD together that we're creatively calling "Combat Bot". Combat Bot will be a fully functioning push bot, so we're not adding an active weapon yet. The first step is to create a new assembly:
* Open Solidworks
* Under 'New' click 'Assembly'
When we start an assembly this way, Solidworks prompts us to open existing parts or assemblies to instert into our new assembly. We don't want to do this, so click through these prompts by hitting the **X**:
Let's save our new assembly before we do anything else.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://plants.cometrobotics.org/cad/starting-a-robot-assembly.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
