Teams will bring robots out of the VEX V5 system. Two alliances of two teams each will compete on a 12'x12' field to outscore the opposing alliance using the 25-26 Challenge Rules. The matches are two minutes long with a 15 second autonomous period at the beginning of the match followed by one minute and forty-five seconds of a driver control period. Each team will receive a minimum of 6 qualification matches. Once qualification matches are complete a round of elimination matches will be played. Teams can pick their alliance partner for the elimination rounds based on rankings, established in the qualification matches.

The (single robot) Skills Challenge will also be available for the teams to participate in at their leisure. Each team will be allowed 3 driver runs and 3 autonomous runs to demonstrate their programming and driving skills. The combination of their highest driver run and Autonomous run will determine their Skills Challenge Ranking.
