    FTC Starterbot Resource Guide (DECODE™)

    Get your season started with the Studica Starterbot for 2025-2026 (DECODE™)

    This FTC Starter Bot made with the FTC Starter Kit by Studica Robotics is designed specifically to compete in 2025-2026 (DECODE™) season. This robot can:

    • Receive Balls from a Human Player
    • Hold 3 Balls
    • Plow balls across the tiled surface to deliver them to the Human Player
    • Index Balls from the robot's ball storage to the throwing mechanism
    • Throw balls into the DECODE goal from up to 18" away
    • Actuate the Gate Lever
    • Complete a Basic Autonomous Routine

    The robot's ball holding hopper, indexer and shooter provide a strong foundation, but there's still room for improvement. It's a great starting point for teams to build a FIRST Tech Challenge robot to play the basic parts of the game.
