What material is the base and backboard made of? Also, what camera was used for the monitor (Pole Camera, On robot (where on robot), etc)? Thanks

Camera is visible in the photo right now (mounted in white brackets next to monitor. It is a 12' conference 60 degree webcam using USB power and data interface.

The entire backboard is painted plywood and the brackets are HDPE plastic. Using wood screws and 1/4"-20 bolts to fix.

Weight with laptop is probably about 20lbs (haven't actually weighed it) but the main problem with the weight is that it's weirdly balanced, the two uprights are handles for control and short duration lifting and the head mount is to help with the balance so your hands don't have to apply counter torque for long duration walking.

And both of us on the drive team could easily see over it because I (the operator) am 6'3" and the driver is about 6'1" :D .
