What is a Rev Hub?
By Jons
The Rev Hub is very important in FTC robotics. It is important because it controls the robots motors, servos, and so much more. It's basically like the "brains" of our Robot "Smitty". As a team we didn't know what this was when we started. But now after 10 weeks working on our FTC challenge preparation, we know what the ports are, where to plug in Servos vs. Motors and how critical it is to be careful with our Rev Hub. We broke it by accident the first week of building and connecting it which was really stressful because one of our ports got broken and slipped inside the plastic box. One of our dad's who is in engineer helped by opening it up and resetting the part and then we knew not to pull things in and out too hard when making connections with our wires onto the Rev Hub.
