Game Summary

The 2026 FIRST Robotics Competition game, REBUILT, presented by Haas, challenges teams with an archaeology- and engineering-themed field game. Two alliances, each made up of three teams, score fuel and perform key actions across three main phases: Autonomous, TeleOp, and Endgame.
In this game, robots score fuel into a central goal called the hub. During the 20-second autonomous period, robots act on pre-programmed instructions to score fuel and may also climb early for bonus points. In the TeleOp period, drivers control their robots for 2 minutes and 20 seconds, collecting fuel from around the field and scoring it into the hub while managing active and inactive shifts that determine which alliance is allowed to score at certain times. Fuel scored into the hub earns points, and reaching high fuel counts during specific phases can unlock additional match advantages. During the Endgame, robots can climb a tower structure to earn extra points by latching onto or mounting different levels before time expires.
Alliances can also earn bonus ranking points in qualification matches by meeting specific thresholds, such as scoring set amounts of fuel or completing climb objectives, which help determine rankings for playoff advancement. Overall, the game emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and engineering design as teams build and program robots that score efficiently, manage power and control systems, and finish with high climbs before the match ends.
