The key word is "can".

I'm surprised to see "can" instead of "will".

Maybe the author was repeating what some marketing blurb says, instead of describing what FTC will do.
Pretty sure that you'll be able to modify the stock app used to control the robot for autonomous and teleoperated. So you'll have templates right there, sounds like a really cool way of doing it.

I wonder if this platform will cause use to see more Android-powered robots in real life, I think it has a lot of potential. If I can take the two android products sitting at my desk, plug one into a robot and the second into a gamepad, that's going to be really powerful.
