# 2026-27 REV DUO FTC Starter Bot

Introducing the 2026-27 REV DUO FTC Starter Bot for the BIOBUZZ™ game presented by RTX! Building off the Preview Starter Bot Base, this robot is designed to give team's an accessible starting place through the early buzz of the season. We can't wait to see how teams take their Starter Bots to the next level to become top bee!

The REV DUO FTC Starter Bot is a hardworking bee, collecting Pollen from across the field and launching it into the Hive! Comb out Pollen from the Flowers using the servo-powered poker on the side of the robot.&#x20;

This year TeleOp and Autonomous codes are available for both Blocks and OnBot Java. TeleOp provides full control of the robot's subsystems along with an auto launch sequence for the Hive. The Auto OpMode, meanwhile, provides a simple start up sequence to launch pre-loads and can be customized for starting from either side!

The 2026-27 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/)), DUO Control Bundle ([REV-35-2709](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-35-2709/)), and Polycarbonate Sheet - 2mm - 8mm Grid Pattern ([REV-41-7537](https://www.revrobotics.com/Polycarbonate-Sheets/)).
