## Description

Everything that changed between the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 goBILDA® FTC Starter Kits, packed into one box, so your team can carry last season's parts straight into the new one.

A new season normally means a new kit, and buying the full kit again would double up on the motors, servos, battery and hardware you already own. This pack contains only the components goBILDA added for 2026-2027: clear polycarbonate grid plates, extra U-Channel, longer REX® shafting, a Compact ServoBlock® and a full set of intake wheels.

Once it's merged with your existing kit, your inventory matches the parts list behind goBILDA's 2026-2027 StarterBot for BIOBUZZ™ (presented by RTX). That design uses a 6WD drop-centre chassis, a GripForce Gecko™ Wheel intake and a shooter mechanism, and has a mecanum-drive variant built with a Strafer® Chassis Kit (sold separately).

### Features

- Stretches team budgets by supplying only the new parts: no duplicate motors, servos, battery or charger
- Seven 48mm GripForce Gecko™ Wheels and sixteen 30A-durometer Intake Roller Wheels, all on 8mm REX® bores, cover the parts an intake like the StarterBot's is built from
- Clear 1.5mm polycarbonate grid plates in three widths (40, 88 and 216mm x 352mm) for lightweight panels, guards and ramps that let you see the mechanism behind them
- Stainless steel 8mm REX® shafts (240mm and 264mm) give positive drive with no slipping, with an E-clip for quick component retention
- Compact ServoBlock® adds a supported output for a standard-size H25T spline servo, taking the radial load off the servo itself
- Extra 1120 Series U-Channel, Dual Block Mounts and spacers to tie the new mechanisms into your chassis
- Genuine goBILDA® components that bolt straight onto the goBILDA hole pattern you already build with
