Our driver station was made during the week before our first competition. It was a simple piece of 3/4 plywood cut to 30" by 8". We use some old Logitech controllers, driver on the left, operator on the right, each with a piece of Velcro on the bottom of the left handle. To carry the station we made 2 handles from scrap extruded aluminum that were bolted together and then filed smoothly to avoid any cuts. The computer was attached to the station by two large pieces of Velcro that kept it firmly in place, yet not too much so that the computer could be removed if need be. Another thing about our wooden driver station, it only took an hour to cut the wood, give it a quick sanding, spray paint the top white, spray paint a stencil of our logo on each of the controller spots (color coded for the driver and operator controllers) and then attach everything by Velcro, and bam!

Where before there was boredom and lack of understanding, suddenly I saw why competitions would be fun. Not to sound corny or anything, but it brought a side out of me that I used to never show people in public. I danced, cheered, screamed, and had a blast. - DevilChild [more]
