FTC 2026–27 BIOBUZZ
Season resources & updates
Hi. So what are, in the ftc season biobuzz, things that might seem smart, but go against the rules.
Answer last refreshed .
Answer
According to the retrieved sources, one thing that might seem smart but could go against the rules is using FTC Dashboard and FTC control panels, as they are prohibited on rule page 84, as mentioned in the Everything Thats Changing From DECODE to BIOBUZZ video.
Another potential issue could be having a mechanism that allows the robot to hold more than four pollen at a time, as there is a maximum possession limit of four pollen. Teams might need to design a mechanism to prevent their robot from holding more than four pollen, as shown in the This Transfer Makes Holding Too Many IMPOSSIBLE video.
It's also important to note that intentionally trying to damage another robot is against the rules, as mentioned in the BIOBUZZ Strategy: How to Win Auto, Teleop, and Flowers video. While playing defense and pushing other robots is allowed, teams should be careful not to cross the line into intentional damage.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please refer to the official Competition Manual.
