Each task you take requires you to analyze, detach and attach different parts of a rover. Most of it can be done directly on the rover you repair, but there are also sets that need to be dismantled separately on a special workbench.
To obtain replacement parts you will have to use the 3D printer, which will provide you with all the components you need to repair a Mars rover.
