In the 2026 FRC competition, two alliances of three teams each compete to earn points by scoring Fuel in their active hub and clmibing their tower. Alliances earn additional rewards for meeting additional scoring thresholds. Robots start each Match on their Starting Line, and during the first 20 seconds of the match, robots are autonomous, and can be programmed to score Fuel. They can then climb their tower at the end of the autonomous periods. During the teleop period, drivers can control their robots to score Fuel and climb the tower.
