Control Box Sizes

[InnoVaZiAn DJ]

Does anyone know what the max size is? i know the shelf is 9in by 42in but are we allowed to have overhang? im part of a rookie team so i have no idea about this. any help is much appreciated :-D heh.

I was just wondering why would you need more than 9"x42"? That's a lot of space.

[Solace]

for the full cockpit flight simulator, obviously.

ours is 9"x48"...oops...but Andy B. thinks that it's alright...hopefully it will be. I guess that I should have looked into that when I was designing it.

According to the FIRST Q/A, you can over hang the 9" shelf.

Q: Can a part of the operator interface not be on the shelf at all ? For instance a control pedal for part of the robot sit on the floor in front of the driver?
A: Yes, as long as it remains within the boundaries of your Team Zone .
