Re: Heads Up - R93 is a Hard Dimension (operator console)
What if you used a board that has a handle slot cut into it? The laptop could be set up on some sloped blocks to keep it under 12". You could then attach the controllers onto the board via velcro for them to be easily attached and reattached. (My team's driver station last year was simply a piece of plexiglass with our Classmate and controllors Velcro-ed on. We carried it by the handle on the Classmate and it worked just fine.)

I'm thinking somthing like the attached for you. It is 12" x 30".
