What is Biobuzz?

In the 2026–2027 FIRST Tech Challenge game BIOBUZZ, two alliances compete to collect POLLEN and NECTAR and score them throughout a biodiversity-inspired playing field. Robots launch scoring elements into their HIVE, work to tip the hive to unlock additional NECTAR, and place POLLEN and NECTAR into FLOWERS to earn points and claim ownership. Matches begin with a 30-second autonomous period before drivers take control for the final two minutes. ftc-resources.firstinspires.org

BIOBUZZ is part of the FIRST CANOPY™ season, challenging students to draw inspiration from the natural world while designing, building, programming, testing, and improving their robots.
