     22=== Teleop Control ===
     23When an FRC robot is in Teleop mode, a human driver stands at a Driver Station: a laptop running special software and joysticks or gamepads for controlling the robot's actions; the laptop connects to the robot using a wireless radio.  In many ways, a robot in teleop mode is like a giant, sophisticated remote-control car.
     24
     25The 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.
