Competition

The 2026 FIRST Robotics Competition game is REBUILT, presented by Haas.

This new season immerses participants in the world of archaeology. The challenge draws inspiration from mechanics used in past competitions, reimagined to encourage innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. Robots will face several key tasks: collecting fuel, scoring them in their hub, navigating obstacles, and climbing their tower.

In Québec, more than 700 students, across 34 teams, will take on this challenge!
