Re: Operator interface/Driver Control board

I may be wrong, but I think the rules say that you can't do that. you can do it in the fix-it window, but I'm prety sure that is over with. Hope something works out. Again, I may be wrong, but I think I saw it elsewere on CD

I which I had a pic of our controller, but sadly, I don't. But it looks cool. We used parts of Kitbot to make a frame, covered it in dimond plate. We had some of the plate up at an angle as a back board. On that we put the OI and had 6 LEDs used to tell battery power. On the flat part, we had 2 old (but good) black joysticks to control the robot on either end (about 1.5-2 ft). In the middle, we had 2 toggle switches for turrning on and off the drive and arm. those also had LEDs to indicate the state of the arm/drive (nothing worse then thinking the robot won't move and leaning of the joystick )

If they want us to think outside of the box, why do they make us fit in a 38x28x60 inch box?
