Solution Identified for Issue with v6.1 of the Robot Controller Software
There is a known issue where the v6.1 Robot Controller app will cause certain Android phones to crash/reboot when it is connected to another Android device that is running the Driver Station app.  The problem is related to a 2.4GHz warning message that appears if a user has phones that supports 5GHz channels but is not explicitly using a 5GHz channel.
 
This problem causes Motorola E5 phones (and possibly other Motorola phones) to reboot when the Driver Station phone connects to the Robot Controller phone.  It only happens if this 2.4GHz warning is enabled. The FIRST Tech Challenge Technology team has identified the cause of the issue and will eventually release a fix that will address the problem.  In the interim, teams who are experiencing this problem should disable the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Warning on the Robot Controller. For further instructions please read our blog post.
