I saw that in PopSci a few months back! I wonder if it's FRC legal.....do you know how epic that would be if your drivers controlled the robot by jumping on the controllers?

You guys may want to pay close attention to how the GDC Q & A answers question #283. R93 says that your control panel can only be 12" deep. There's a LOT of illegal control panels out there if they enforce it.

And this thread just became much more relevant for our team. R93 is a hard enforceable dimension according to the Q283 that we posted on the Q&A system.

We were using a toolcase very similar to the one that is posted in POST #14 of this thread, and those exceed the 12 inch hard dimension eventhough the shelf easily supports them. (We ran the toolcase for 4 years prior to this). So that nice briefcase is illegal.

Looking at POSTs #18 and #13, it appears that those operator consoles hang slightly over the edge of the shelf and would also be illegal under R93.

If anyone finds a nice toolcase that would not exceed the 12" hard limit on the shelf when opened and has a depth of 5" when closed, could you please post the vendor and part number. I have been searching for a week on the internet to try and find something 18" X 10" X 6" with a 2" lid so that we could put all our stuff in a nice suitcase with no luck.

Also, you might want to measure the depth of your operator console laptop with the lid open and make sure it doesn't exceed 12 inches. We were donated a 4:3 ratio older laptop for our console that is bigger than that dimension and thus we are having to go back to our E09 Classmate.
