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.
