#### Users with Two Android Smartphones
Once you have successfully installed the FTC apps onto your Android phones, you will want to establish a secure wireless connection between the two devices. This connection will allow your Driver Station phone to select op modes on your Robot Controller phone and send gamepad input to these programs. Likewise, it will allow your op modes running on your Robot Controller phone to send telemetry data to your Driver Station phone where it can be displayed for your drivers. The process to connect the two phones is known as “pairing.”
Important Note: If your Driver Station was previously paired to a Control Hub, and you currently would like to connect to an Android smartphone Robot Controller, then before attempting to pair to the Robot Controller, you should forget the Wi-Fi network for the previous Control Hub (using the Android Wifi Settings screen on the Driver Station) and then power cycle the Driver Station phone. If the previous Control Hub is powered on and if you haven't forgotten this network, then the Driver Station might try and connect to the Control Hub and will be unable to connect to the Robot Controller smartphone.
