Control Systems
===============

The FTC control system is based around a ":term:`Robot Controller`" and a ":term:`Driver Station`". The :term:`Robot Controller` is mounted on the robot and are connected to special "Hub(s)", which in turn connect to motors, servos, and sensors. The :term:`Robot Controller` is linked to the :term:`Driver Station` through WiFi Direct.

REV Robotics is the sole manufacturer of legal FTC control system components. The REV Expansion Hub connects to motors, servos, sensors, and a :term:`Robot Controller`. A REV Control Hub has the same functionality of an Expansion Hub but with a built-in :term:`Robot Controller`.

This is the standard control system for teams starting out in FTC.

The Control Hub connects to the Expansion Hub through either a RS-485 port on both hubs or a USB-A port on the Control Hub to the mini USB port on the Expansion Hub. In either case, proper strain relief and cable management should be used.

.. warning:: It is of vital importance to update the firmware on REV Expansion hubs to at least version 1.8.2. It includes better protection against disconnects and improves program performance. See the `REV Expansion Hub firmware update docs`_.

The Expansion Hub connects to the :term:`Robot Controller` phone through the mini USB port. The REV Expansion Hub is reliable, as long as proper strain relief and wiring is carried out. This includes the :term:`USB Retention Mount`, as well as 3D printing :term:`XT30` stress relief mounts.
