4 keys to a driver station are usability, security, portability, and handling. For virtually every year in existence, 422 has operated under a tank drive, so we have 2 KOP joysticks bolted into 1/16" polycarbonate on a 12 by 21 inch rectangle. Attached by a hinge, we have the laptop and the OI/Joystick 3 (this year we had joystick 3) on the right half. When the driver station is folded in half, it can be held by handles or hoisted under one's arm rather nicely. It is also far lighter than our previous diamond plate metal and wooden stations. It can be rested on top of our robot for tethering, and can be stored with an incredibly small footprint.
