Just to add to what Eugene said, we are going to be adding some switches, potentiometers, and maybe some push buttons and a slide pot, as well as autonomous/disable switches.


Feel free to comment.

WOW!!!!! That is beautiful! :D

So clean and clearly very sturdy. Perhaps some kind of rubber caps to cover the corners of the control center and help prevent damage to other surfaces. Of course, you need your team number to tell who's craftsmanship this is.

Thank you for the compliments, any suggestions for paint color?

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
 

Now the question is, what do you go with? Paint, cold cathodes, decals, or a combination. :p

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
 

Although I like the white, I would go with your team color(s).

It's lookin kinda bland right now. Maybe paint it up a bit.

It looks very well-built and very sturdy.

Plus, you better start saving weight now! That looks mighty heavy. Pull out the hole saw and go to town! :D

I don't know about you, but I think lightening holes look good!

Not having 2 right handed joysticks? ;)

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
 

Exactly, my man, exactly. :cool:

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
 

ye, we wanted ambidextrous joysticks, we go for function and comfort

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
 

Nice work! It's a nice design and looks easy to use. Post a picture of the finished product!

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
 

That would be perfect for this control center! Have them inside and have your team number cut out from the sides to let the light through.

Like someone suggested earlier, maybe you can do something like this?

... Orange and Blue is our team color. =)
