### How Many Smartphones Do I Need to configure?
Teams who are using a Control Hub as the Robot Controller will only need to configure a single smartphone for use as a Driver Station. Teams who are not using a Control Hub will need to configure one smartphone for use as a Robot Controller and a second smartphone for use as a Driver Station.
### What do needs to be configured for my robot?
#### Control Hub Users
Teams who are using a Control Hub as the Robot Controller will only need to configure a single smartphone for use as a Driver Station:
* Rename the smartphone to "\<TEAM NUMBER\>-DS" (where \<TEAM NUMBER\> is replaced by your team number).
* Install the Driver Station app onto the Driver Station phone.
* Pair (i.e., wirelessly connect) the Driver Station to the Control Hub.
#### Users with Two Android Smartphones
Teams who have two smartphones and are not using a Control Hub will need to configure one smartphone for use as a Robot Controller and a second smartphone for use as a Driver Station:
* Rename one smartphone to "\<TEAM NUMBER\>-RC" (where \<TEAM NUMBER\> is replaced by your team number).
* Install the Robot Controller app onto the Robot Controller phone
* Rename a second smartphone to "\<TEAM NUMBER\>-DS" (where \<TEAM NUMBER\> is replaced by your team number).
* Install the Driver Station app onto the Driver Station phone.
* Pair (i.e., wirelessly connect) the Driver Station to the Robot Controller.
### Renaming Your Smartphones
The official rules of the FIRST Tech Challenge require that you change the Wi-Fi name of your smartphones to include your team number and “-RC” if the phone is a Robot Controller or “-DS” if it is a Driver Station. A team can insert an additional dash and a letter (“A”, “B”, “C”, etc.) if the team has more than one set of Android phones.
The official rules (see <RS01>) of the FIRST Tech Challenge require that you change the Wi-Fi name of your smartphones to include your team number and “-RC” if the phone is a Robot Controller or “-DS” if it is a Driver Station. A team can insert an additional dash and a letter (“A”, “B”, “C”, etc.) if the team has more than one set of Android phones.
If, for example, a team has a team number of 9999 and the team has multiple sets of phones, the team might decide to name one phone “9999-C-RC” for the Robot Controller and the other phone “9999-C-DS” for the Driver Station. The “-C” indicates that these devices belong to the third set of phones for this team.
Note that it will take an estimated 5 minutes per phone to complete this task.
