They had a holographic HUD projected onto some plastic mounted perpendicular to the base control board. That way the drivers could watch the robot and see important information simultaneously. I'd like to see, or do that one myself someday.

Our driver-station this year featured a simple and yet very elegant control board. It had a custom arduino mega board that allowed us to not only send signals to the robot but also receive feedback to the control board through LEDs.

Elegant indeed! I love the wood, although right now I'm looking towards aluminium and colored acrylic for the more modern look. I've seen a couple photos of 4451's console, and I have to say it does look really sexy. I'm going to do some research on creating a HUD, whether it be on something like that or on a wearable like the Vuzix m300.
