FIRST's new control system will free up a wave of robot parts
RoboResale
SystemCore replaces the roboRIO in the FIRST Robotics Competition from 2027. Thousands of teams will have controllers and motors to sell.
FIRST's new robot controller, SystemCore, goes on sale on 18 November 2026. It replaces the roboRIO in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) from 2027 and arrives in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) in 2027–28, where the old system stays legal through 2030–31.
When teams switch, last season's hardware becomes spare. Expect roboRIOs, REV Control Hubs, NEO and Falcon motors and SPARK MAX motor controllers on the market.
Already trading, just not on a marketplace
School teams already sell parts to each other, often within minutes, on Chief Delphi, the main FRC forum, which has no marketplace section.
If you're selling team parts
- Say what still works and how many seasons it ran.
- Say which seasons it's legal for.
- For hubs, give the battery health and firmware version.
