Its so easy to put velcro on to the bottom of the control board to solve these problems. (and as an added benefit, it helps prevent the board from scratching any other surfaces you put it on)

Sorry guys, i was the driver for last year, but i totally forget which side of the velcro to put on the control box. Sorry for the stupid question.

I'm assuming you mean front, (towards where the drivers stand) back (towards the field) or another location on the bottom of the control board?

If you can't remember, & they don't specify it exactly in any field paperwork this year, just bring the velcro with you & attach it to the bottom of your controls where it needs to be during Thursday when you can see the shelf up close & personal.
That's what we ended up doing last year after hearing horror stories from earlier competitions.

Edit: I believe it was directly in the middle of the shelf between the lexan/diamond plate field wall & the edge of the shelf, but when in doubt, wait until you get there.

I think he might've meant which Velcro (hook or loop), which Eric had answered, although that's good advice, Elgin.

The "hook" side goes on the bottom of your board. That's the one that feels rougher than the other.
