This video walks through programming the autonomous mode for the 2026 Kit Bot, covering the core concepts and setup needed to get started. We’ll fine tune our program out on the field in a later video. Special thanks to Argosy for making this possible, FIRST, Aramco, and to our studio hosts Team 302 and Lake Orion High School.
