Control Station

[Mando3168]

Howdy Folks,
My team and I have been looking through the manual and haven't been able to find the dimensions of the Control Station. Do any of you know what the dimensions should be or what size would be ideal?

Thanks

Attached to the ALLIANCE WALL are three aluminum shelves to support the OPERATOR CONSOLES for the three teams on the ALLIANCE. The support shelf measures approximately 60 inches wide by 12 inches deep. There is a 4½-foot long by two-inch wide strip of Velcro tape (“loop” side) along the center of the support shelf that may be used to secure the OPERATOR CONSOLES to controls the ROBOT. Each setup location includes a competition cable (to provide Ethernet connectivity) that attaches to the Ethernet port of the Classmate PC. The cable provides communications with the ROBOT. Emergency Stop (E-Stop) buttons for each team are located on the left end of each Player Station shelf. ARENA components (including team number displays, competition arena hardware, alliance lights, control hardware cabinets and clock displays) are also located above the PLAYER STATIONS and below the shelf.

Your drivers station should be as comfortable as possible for your driver, as long as you fit within the constraints.

With that said, I would not recommend building a 4.5 foot long drivers station, simply due to the fact that it is a pain to carry around.
