Control Hub

The REV Robotics Control Hub is an affordable all-in-one educational robotics controller.  It provides students all the necessary interfaces for robotics and mechatronics projects with multiple programming language options.

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. 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 must run v5.0 or higher of the Robot Controller application and paired with a v5.0 or higher Driver Station application. To make sure your Control Hub is running the latest software, use the REV Hardware Client.
