Re: Driver station...

What do you mean by driver's station?

a) the electronics
b) the place to put them at the field
c) some form of mounting board to help place a) on b)

If you're thinking of option c), then your best bet is to have some form of board that is light and easy to carry. I've seen some in cases (pictures can be found in CD-Media), some with handles for ease of carrying, and some that are just boards with electronics on top of them. You want them light, strong, and not terribly long if you can avoid it. And, assuming that the Velcro is still in place this year, plan to put a long piece of Velcro on the bottom to help it stay up.

If you're thinking of option b), then you need to look at the Field section of the Manual on Saturday.

If you're thinking of option a), there are pictures on Bill's Blog from a few months ago.
