Driver Control Box

Where should we put the velcro strip on the bottom of our control box? We're thinking right down the middle but figured we would ask to make sure and save velcro.

According to Section 6.2.6 of the manual,

Attached to the Alliance Station Wall are three aluminum shelves to support the robot control systems of the three teams on the ALLIANCE. The support shelf measures approximately 60 inches wide by 12 inches deep. There is a 4-1/2-foot long by two-inch wide strip of Velcro tape (“loop” side) along the center of the support shelf that may be used to secure the controls for the ROBOT and the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

So, at the 6" mark, or right in the middle, depending on how wide your board is, is where you want to center the velcro.

Use a piece of tape and tape it to your control board. When you arrive at the competition, stick your velcro on theirs, peel off your sticky backing, and set your control board on top of it.
