Heh, it looks like a cage for some kinda creature. Tytus spent many hours tracing the Cad Font to make this thing. I thought it was a bit too ornate but seeing it all done is pretty cool. We put our poor sponsor to the test again blowing this thing out. BIG THANKS TO BTI!!! Tytus got his name emblazend forever (and Amanda!). We decided if there was ever a nuclear war we'd fight over this thing to put over our head. It's .1" thick stainless plate.... Don't ask me why, I just give into the kid. Although not like the waterjet cares. But I know this thing is gonna take out a toe. I broke my finger last year at nationals, so now I'm gonna wear steel toe boots.

That's amazing! When I saw "control box" I wasn't expecting an actual box!

.Our 2003 controls measure 42" exactly, although I seem to remember there being more room than that on the shelf, but it's been a year (tomorrow) so I can't remember. I can tell you though, we made it only 42" for a reason, I just can't remember why :-p.
And about cutting it down, if needed, just tell the freshmen, whoever can bite through the steel plate first gets a cookie. Or maybe apple sauce would be better...

Very beautiful control box. Lovely design and construction. I hope it fits in the given space...it would be a shame if it doesn't.
P.S. - A plasma cutter would cut through that without any difficulty

Re: pic: 179's Control Box (unfinished)
The size of the shelf this year is smaller than last year's because our controls that we have used forever wouldn't fit on the shelf at VCU. The problem was that the E-Stop button was at one end and the support for the ball dump was at the other. If you put something underneath the edges so it only folds up (won't fold down, so it can hang over the edgs), you should be fine. That's what we did.

Beautiful job! I designed my board for my driver and I all of our years, and I know all of the work that goes into it. This is aboslutely amazing though!
... regarding the measurements, the only comment I can remember is that ours was less than the allowable size last year [48" I believe] due to crate dimensions.
....... who shall be the muscles to carry this around? I hope you have a strong driver!
