Crazy Driverstations
 
I was wondering what the most interesting control station you've ever seen is.

What made it awesome?

Whose was it?

Where did you see it?

1768 has a really long one with a custom button panel. It has wheels on one bottom edge so one of the drive team members can drag it along with them.

I don't think anything I've seen compares with the huge screens and camera poles a few teams used last year.

2011 a team, whom I can't remember, had a custom board that was a scale model of their three jointed armor. They could control the arm at different positions using a scaled down model of their arm on the driver station.

In 2007 we used a guitar hero controller for our Rack 'n Roll robot, fitting, no?

I once made a nice wearable DS that we called "the baby carrier." Good times, walking around and driving the robot.

Never got any, but it worked like a harness for marching band drums, and had a wide board to set joysticks on, with a high-traction surface so things didn't slip.

We used this setup for the past 3 years

If I remember correctly, 1625 had a marching band snare drum harness where they would put their console during teleop.

I know that 1466 did this last year and I think in 2015. Theirs is 3d rather than against cardboard: https://www.facebook.com/FIRST1466/v...4337883346494/
