 A base component gives you a movement API (`MoveStraight`, `Spin`, `SetVelocity`, `Stop`) regardless of the underlying drive system. The most common model is `wheeled`, which handles differential steering for robots with left and right motors. Other models exist for different platforms, including `sensor-controlled` (adds IMU feedback to improve accuracy) and module-based models for specific hardware.

 A button component represents a momentary push button. The API is intentionally simple: a single `Push` method that simulates pressing the button. The button API does not listen for or report incoming presses; a module can still react to real presses internally, but from SDK code you only initiate presses.

 Use generic when no other component type fits. If your hardware produces images, use [camera](/hardware/common-components/add-a-camera/). If it produces readings, use [sensor](/hardware/common-components/add-a-sensor/). Standard types give you typed SDK methods like `GetImage` or `GetReadings`, richer test-panel controls tailored to the component, and motion or vision services that know how to work with them. Generic exposes only `DoCommand`, so callers have to know the module-specific command shape.
