Please try this instead. I think the initialization of rd is too early. Moving it to the init() method should work. BTW, this is primarily an FRC forum, you may get better response from the FTC forums http://ftcforum.usfirst.org/forumdis...Android-Studio

public class Brain extends OpMode {
    private int statusDriveInteger = 76;
    private RobotDrive rd;

    public void init () {
        rd = new RobotDrive(hardwareMap);
        statusDriveInteger = rd.statusRobotDrive();

        telemetry.addData("here ",statusDriveInteger);
    }

    public void loop (){
        telemetry.addData("here pre",statusDriveInteger);
        rd.setPowerLeftRearDrive(1.0);
        telemetry.addData("here post",statusDriveInteger);

    }

}
