Re: Driver Station Suggestions

It's been a while for me, but my co-driver(s) and I in 2007 and 2008 were all ~6ft plus tall, so our driver station had almost a foot of height to it, to get the joysticks up to a height where my forearms could be horizontal so I had better control. Perhaps not so much of a consideration these days with all the handheld gamepads, but definitely keep ergonomics in mind - the more comfortable (or at least, the less awkward) you can make it to use, the more effectively you'll be able to use it.
