### Changing the Name
In order to comply with game manual rule \<RS01\>, the name of the Robot Controller's smartphone should be changed.
You can change the name of a Control Hub using a laptop or Chromebook that is connected to the Hub's Program & Management page.
[This tutorial](Configuring-Your-Android-Devices#renaming-your-smartphones) demonstrates how to rename a smartphone using the Android Settings activity of the phone.
**Important Note:** Changing the name of a Control Hub changes the name of the Hub's wireless network. Once the name is changed, you will have to connect your devices (Driver Station and programming laptop/Chromebook) to the new network.
You can also use the FTC app to change the Robot Controller phone's name.
