[Edit 10\/1] DRIVER STATION WORKAROUND for ANDROID 6.0, MOTO G phones<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n
Version 7.0 of the Driver Station exposes a bug in Android 6.0 on Moto G series phones. This bug is fixed in Android 6.0.1; however, the last update for some Moto G series phones in some regions was Android 6.0. The bug manifests itself as a crash when attempting to switch to Control Hub pairing. The\u00a0FIRST\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0<\/em>Tech Challenge\u00a0Technology Team has developed a workaround, labeled v7.0.1, for this problem specifically for this phone.<\/div>\n

Teams using Moto G series phones as Driver Stations, running Android 6.0 with no option to upgrade to Android 6.0.1, should use FtcDriverStation-7.0.1-release.apk available through the REV Hardware Client or directly from the\u00a0v7.0 release page on GitHub.<\/a><\/p>\n
