I did the design for my control board last year, it took me the whole last Sunday to sit down with no sleep, and figure it out. It is really nice looking, however, the other driver doesn't like it that well. He says it's to girlish/pretty. I'm not sure what type of driver set up you are looking for but I will describe ours.

We used a really fancy type of wood. I don't remember what it was, but the engineers were shocked when they saw that we spray painted it. I believe it is something around 3 1/2 feet long, and about 8" deep. We have two joysticks (one for each driver), and they are found at each end of the board. On the end with the base driver you will find the radio on the outside of the joystick, and the interface on the inside of the joystick. On the other end of the board is the second joystick, which ran Moose and the braking system, and on the inside of that you would find the control/button box. *evulish had a big part in making the box, and it looks very 'ghetto'* The box runs the left and right arm and the rotating independently of both of them.

The board is spray painted blue, and on my side, in the top corner is the infamous Moose symbol, and on the other driver side is the Chuck 84 logo. I have stickers incorrectly labeling the control box, and the buttons, stickers, and control box cover are all a blue (team color)... with red and white for a patriotic look.

You can find a much better description of the board by just taking a look at it yourself in my Who Am I picture.
