One design feature of note is separating the driver and operator console. Made it a lot easier to carry and store than a big monolithic one.
You can also see our bot in the corner, and me with the flame pants in the back

This was the best looking driver station that I saw last year. This is ours. It is both good looking and functional. We used a black briefcase from a thrift shop that we mounted the classmate inside and stored our gamepad inside. On the outside, we painted the team logo on one side and velcroed the joysticks to the other.

When we got to the field, our driver would just lift off the lid and set it up off to the side. The operator would open up the classmate and pull out his gamepad and we were set to go.

It also matched our fedoras......

EDIT: Posted a picture of it, sorry it is small and not at a great angle.
