Custom Drive Stations

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I have to weigh in here...
Many teams went to extreme lengths this year to support cameras and make some unusual driver stations. However, the shelves on the field suffered from the extra weight these placed on the shelf and the supports. I measured several driver's stations that were over 40 lbs. If you are planning for next year, please limit your design to something less than 30 lbs, less than 20 would be better. The fields will last longer and we will minimize risk to our drivers.
Additionally, if you make a big driver's station, don't make the smallest student on your team carry it out to the field. Please! I will thank you and they will thank you.
