Version 26.3.0

2026 ARL Release

This release is available for teams who are creating a robot for the Summer 2026 ARL season. It is ready to be used with a fresh drive base to play REBUILT.

There are significant enough changes in this release that it may be challenging to bring robots built on v26.0 or v26.1 up to this release, but the Template Update tool in your robot code's repository will make an attempt at it!

In addition, this release cleans up many longstanding nagging issues and greatly improves the documentation of Az-RBSI ahead of the upcoming switch to SystemCore in 2027.
