Pit scouting, match scouting and alliance selection now run on the same data, and none of it needs rebuilding when the season rolls over.

Finance approvals, card grants and a rebuilt embed builder

16 August 2026

Spending got the controls a mentor needs before handing a card to a student, and the embed builder was rebuilt from scratch.

Discord, MCP servers and a demo team

12 August 2026

Three ways into the same data: a bot in your server, a machine-readable endpoint, and a portal you can walk through without signing up.

Push notifications, playoff brackets and per-feature switches

8 August 2026

A broad week: notifications reach phones, event pages gained the two things people kept asking for, and teams can turn off the parts of the portal they do not use.

  • New Web push notifications, including on iOS home screens
  • New Playoff brackets drawn from the real alliance structure
  • New Advancement points per event, as FIRST publishes them
  • New Feature modules, so a team can switch off what it does not run
  • New Guides on scouting, sponsorship, budgeting and the portfolio
  • Improved Permissions split per key, including for the inbox
  • Improved Documentation exports as PDF
  • Improved Awards can be tagged on tasks, meetings and documentation

A shared team inbox, and the open source directory

4 August 2026

Email stopped living in one persons account. The directory of what teams publish went up the same week.

Custom domains, link tracking and an SEO pass

2 August 2026

Team websites can now answer on a domain the team owns, and the links on them report back.

  • New Custom domains for team websites, verified and routed automatically
  • New Click tracking on team site links, with country-level geography
  • New A contact page that routes bugs, features and privacy requests
  • Improved Canonical URLs, per-section sitemaps and social cards on every page
  • Fixed Two competitions on the same day no longer collapse into one

Every FTC season, on our own database

31 July 2026

Match, team and award data moved off the old store and onto Postgres, which is what made whole-history rankings and records possible.

Documentation, and a tasks page that holds a season

26 July 2026

Engineering notebook work moved into the portal, and the planning pages got the rebuild they needed before build season.

Fiscal sponsorship, donations and cards

18 July 2026

The money half of the toolkit landed in one go: teams under our 501(c)(3) can take donations, hold a balance and spend it on a real card.
