### Renaming Your Smartphones ### Renaming Your Smartphones
The official rules of the FIRST Tech Challenge (see \<RS01\>) 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.

### Placing Phones into Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi On ### Placing Phones into Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi On
For the FIRST Tech Challenge competitions, it is important that you place your Robot Controller and Driver Station phones into Airplane mode but keep their Wi-Fi radios turned on. This is important because you do not want any of the cellular telephone functions to be enabled during a match. The cellular telephone functions could disrupt the function of the robot during a match.
