Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
Look nice! Maybe a logo or some color to spice it up. Maybe some buttons and switchs if you 2nd driver prefers that over using a joystick.

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
You could always put a toggle switch on there with a flip-up guard on it.

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
VERY NICE!!! It has a modern and clean look to it
there's only one thing it needs some sweet lights inside of it.....seeing as it's made of frosted Lexan and or white nylon, if a few blue LEDs were placed inside it would have an awesome soft blue glow eminating from it |

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
I would put some green ooze, maybe some biohazard logos. All on a black background with some green LED's. Just use your team's theme (plague) to come up with a good design.

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
There's only one that's definitely cooler than that. And it had a dashboard display built-in.

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
I would suggest modifying the window to be hinged, allowing easy access to the OI underneath.
A 'roll bar' of sorts, extending from the font edge up, that would in the event of the unit falling upside down would prevent the joysticks from hitting the ground. It would also allow you to place the control system down, with the handle facing up. Looks good. I prefer it to the painted and cathoded look. Try brushing and polishing the aluminum just before a regional. It won't last long, but it does look great. -Andy A. |

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
One suggestion (which may be a non-event): Make sure you can switch your channel dipswitches easily. I've been to two off-seasons that've done it this way (Mission Mayhem and Cal Games), and teams who can't access them just hold up the process.
(Same with the team numbers--you'll have to change the MSB to get some channels.) |

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
We have that covered. The OI is probably going to be on a hinged screen, that way all ports and switches are easily accessible.
Thanks for all the suggestions, and keep 'em coming. |

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
I have gotten a 7 inch screen and we will get a laptop, stick the insides into the control board and have a built in dashboard viewer

Re: pic: brand new custom built control center
Sweet Controller station! I would add some decals for your team number or paint it your teams colors. Awsome job, its very neat and looks really good. I like the screen thats going to go into it.
