We are very concerned about safety in all areas of the competition and moving a heavy, liquid acid battery and high voltage source pushes the envelope on that precept. Additionally, there is very little floor space in the driver's station to place your equipment. There is no substitute to having the laptop battery charged before you come to the field. And while nice, most teams find there is no substitute for charging batteries in the pit prior to coming to the field.

The OPERATOR CONSOLE must not exceed 60 in. long by 12 in. deep (excluding any items that are held or worn bythe DRIVERS during the match). There is a 54 in. long by 2 in. wide strip of hook-and-loop tape (“loop” side) along the center of the PLAYER STATION support shelf that may be used to secure the OPERATOR CONSOLE to the shelf. See Section2.2.9 for details.
