Last year my team had a large lexan box with all of our components in it. It was about 2 inches thick so the controls (the two sticks and the box with toggle switches on it) were flush with the front and the controller board was held inside, but still visible through the lexan. Everything was velcro-ed together so we could take everything out and put it back it the right spot with ease and the modem was velcro-ed onto the outside. This made for a rather heavy box, though, so we put wheels on one end and a handle on the other so we could roll it around and this worked very well. If only our bot worked as well as our controls...
