 [[Image(Driver_Station.jpg,25%,nolink,right,margin=20)]] In many ways, a robot in teleop mode is like a big, sophisticated remote-control car.  When an FRC robot is in Teleop mode, a human driver stands at a Driver Station (see picture to right) and uses a laptop running special software and joysticks or gamepads to control the robot.
 
-The driver station laptop typically displays status information about the robot and can display video streaming from the robot's cameras.  The human driver watches the video and controls the robot using joysticks or a gamepad to remotely drive the robot and operate its mechanisms.  The picture to the right shows a driver station ready to run at a competition.  Teams typically use [https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/7882/l/85166-driving-the-robot-with-tank-drive-and-joysticks one or two joysticks] to drive the robot; with two joysticks, one controls the left motors and the other the right motors in an arrangement known as ''tank drive''.  A second human player often operates another joystick or gamepad to control mechanisms (arms, turrets, shooters, etc.) on the robot.

+* ''Arcade'' drive uses one joystick to control speed and direction
+* ''Tank or Skid'' drive uses two joysticks: one controls the motors/wheels on the left side and the other controls the motors/wheels on the right side.
+A second human player often operates yet another joystick or gamepad to control mechanisms (arms, turrets, shooters, climbers, etc.) on the robot.
 
 In competition scenarios, drivers must often operate the robot while it is obstructed from direct view (e.g. behind a structure); in these cases, the streaming video from the robot is critical to successful driving.
