Re: Good looking driver staions
As a previous member of my team's drive team, and on behalf of yours, I beg of you to, if you aren't the drive team yourself, at the very least consult with them before you build anything, and take into consideration any concerns they may have. This last year we made a beautiful station our of polycarb and 80/20, but the thing weighed like, 20 pounds. It was painful to carry it around all day, as we didn't even have a place on our cart for it.

It's been stated so many times now, but keep it light! (Now that I think about that, it applies to just about everything in FRC)

Then again, if your drivers are willing to put up with lugging around the kitchen sink, by all means indulge them. I'm sure they'll reconsider next year though.
