Step 5 - Name your robot after the correct naming scheme. By default, the Control Hub has a name that begins with "FTC-" or "FIRST-" followed by four random characters. We need to change that to meet these requirements:

• If the device will be a Robot Controller, specify your team number and "-RC".

• If the device will be a Driver Station, specify your team number and "-DS".

• If you have more than 1 set of Robot controllers and Driver Stations the add letters to specify which device it is e.g. "-C"

For example, our team's primary set of Robot controller and Driver Station would be "18038_A_RC" for robot controller and "18038_A_DS" for Driver Station
