# 2025-26 REV DUO FTC Starter Bot

Introducing the 2025-26 REV DUO FTC Starter Bot for the DECODE℠ game presented by RTX! Utilizing just the [FTC Starter Kit V3.1](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-45-3529/) and the [DUO Control Bundle](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-35-2709/), this starter bot is the culmination of analyzing the game, prototyping, and technical documentation. The REV DUO FTC Starter Bot is designed to give teams a starting point for building their robot, while leaving room for iteration, revision, and adaptation to the game’s challenges.

This year's 2025-26 REV DUO FTC Starter Bot is here to help your team get exploring and digging into the season's game! Transport three artifacts to launch into the goal with an adjustable deflector to allow flexibility in how your team approaches the game.&#x20;

The sample program is available with autonomous for the first time this year! We hope this gives teams a starting point to build off of throughout the season.

The 2025-26 REV DUO Starter Bot is designed to be built using the FTC Starter Kit V3.1 ([REV-45-3529](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-45-3529/)) and DUO Control Bundle ([REV-35-2709](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-35-2709/)).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.revrobotics.com/ftc-kickoff-concepts/decode-2025-26/starter-bot-decode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
