Before competing at our last event, we decided we wanted to create a new drivers station. After a couple of long days, I was able to get it made before Ann Arbor (barely).

This looks awesome! Just wondering, how high is your camera?

I think roughly 11 feet up. The pole is about 102" above the driver's station shelf. I may change the settings with the GoPro to make the shot not as wide, and better to see.

Only allowed 11" 8:" off floor. Cannot exceed tower flag.

However tall it was they were definitely legal, I compared every one of the teams at Ann Arbor with a camera pole against the flags.

Excellent craftsmanship!

I agree a tighter camera angle should improve your view of the opponent's courtyard. Looking forward to playing with your team at States.

I did the math to make sure we didn't exceed the height, and we could have extended the pole around 107" I believe and still be legal.

Thank you, it took many hours to create, nobody really knew how it would turn out. And we are looking forward to playing with you guys at State also. We also enjoyed playing with you at St Joe.
