Official FIRST® Robotics Competition Field Carpets are now available for preorder until noon eastern Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
This carpet is the same low pile carpet that was used in 2026, and the same that will be used in 2027. While we make commitments on carpet on a year-by-year basis, the supply chain for this carpet is currently stable, and we have no plans to change carpet types in the near future. The carpet is described in Section 5.2 of the Game Manual. FIRST® and AndyMark are very excited to work together and offer this vital part of the field to teams!
There are a few options available that teams can purchase:
- Full Field:
- Two (2) rolls of 15 ft x 74 ft carpet are needed to create an official base for the FIRST Robotics Competition Full Field, 30 ft x 74 ft area.
- Half Field (am-5643):
- For a half field, order one roll of 15 ft x 74 ft carpet. This carpet can be cut in half and taped together for a 30 ft x 37 ft half field.
- Test Area (am-5652):
- To create a field floor identical to the Test Areas that are at official events, the Test Area size of 15 ft by 30 ft can simply be rolled out and taped down.
Tips for working with carpet: The 3 in. x 55 yds Black Gaffers Field Tape (am-4766) is suggested for taping the carpet edges. To seam joints between carpet rolls we recommend a single sided pressure sensitive (not heat activated) carpet seams tape like this one from Home Depot.
