To make sure your Control Hub is running the latest software, use the REV Hardware Client. The Control Hub must run v5.0 or higher of the Robot Controller application and paired with a v5.0 or higher Driver Station application. Running the Android operating system gives the Control Hub the flexibility to control both basic and advanced robots while also being field-updatable as new features are developed. The Control Hub is purpose-built to stand up to the rigors of the classroom and the competition field with ESD and reverse polarity protection. It provides students all the necessary interfaces for robotics and mechatronics projects with multiple programming language options. The REV Robotics Control Hub is an affordable all-in-one educational robotics controller.

Instead of letting the battery run empty and waiting while it fully recharges, drivers make use of the time their car is parked (which is about 95 of the time) to keep the battery topped up. *For the 2020-2021 season, FIRST Tech Challenge teams in all regions will have the option of using the REV Robotics Control Hub within the FTC Competition environment.
