What is the maximum number of servos allowed for a robot?

The maximum number of servos allowed for a robot under the FTC Decode 2025-2026 rules is 12 total. This limit is established to ensure that teams can design their robots within a manageable framework, allowing teams to efficiently control movements while keeping the electronic and programming complexity within bounds.

Having a maximum number of servos helps maintain the competition's integrity by preventing any overwhelming advantages from teams utilizing an excessive number of servos, which could lead to more complex robot functionality that might detract from the spirit of the competition.

By allowing 12 servos, teams still have ample options for creating advanced mechanisms without overcomplicating their designs or programming. This rule encourages creativity and innovation while aligning with the competition goals.
