One trick my team has used in the past to get around this is with a long cable for the controller. We use xbox controllers to drive and if the cable is long, you are allowed to walk over into another driver station. After auton just pickup the controller and walk to the left or right a couple steps into the 1st or 3rd driver stations (make sure your alliance partner is okay with it first).

One intent of C12 is to prevent unsafe situations where long tethers to
OPERATOR CONSOLE devices increase tripping hazards as the
operator moves about the ALLIANCE STATION. In the interest of
avoiding nuisance penalties associated with an operator stepping outside
of a prescribed area, we prefer to offer a general guideline as to what it
means to use the OPERATOR CONSOLE in the ALLIANCE STATION.
Provided the operator is within close proximity of their PLAYER
STATION, there will be no repercussions. However, if an operator is
located more than approximately ½ PLAYER STATION width away from
their own PLAYER STATION, that would be considered a violation of
C12

Yeah, so your allowed to take a couple steps into another station. as long as you dont cross over halfway into their station.
