0.K Resources and printables
Being written
This page is being written and will be updated again on 30 September 2026. For now comments are collected on the Turkish version of this page (language menu): if you find something missing or wrong, you can write it there. The feedback we receive decides what changes in this round.
Last checked: 6 September 2026. This page is not a lesson. It collects the outside resources and the ready-to-print tools used in Unit 0 in one place.
To get all of our original tools in one file: Probot FTC printables pack ZIP. The ZIP holds the PDF print versions, the editable HTML/DOCX sources, an XLSX budget file for the world championship and a README. It does not include third-party documents.
How to choose a resource
For a rules question, use the current Competition Manual, Team Updates and the official Q&A first. Manufacturer documents are for setting up their own products. Community resources give you ideas, examples and troubleshooting help; they do not replace the official rules. When the season changes, check the dates, versions and event pages again.
