Team 296's 2012 driver/operator station. The stained wood cases have many unique features:
the Driver Station features:
-A modded attack joystick to hold a sword handle
-EL wire thta glows blue and red
-A crown at the top that, when spun, will move the robot forward or backward slowly to balance on the bridge.
the Operator Station features:
-A numatron, a seven-segment digital display using filaments
-Self-positioning sliders to control the turret direction and the shooter speed
-An awesome telegraph key to run the conveyor that brings the balls up to the shooter
-A knife-swith that can activate the pickup rollers, engage the shooter rollers, or raise the entire tower of the robot by 2 ft.

I absolutely love this. It's obvious that a LOT of thought and time went into creating this piece of art.
Thanks for sharing it.
I hope to one day be as cool as this drivers station.

Pretty cool. I'm still waiting for a steampunk robot... though the weight limits might doom such a thing.

Wow... certainly different than our diamond-plate box, but I like it.

I was with team 342 and was right next to there pits I awed over the driving stations since we got there. They were a nice team and had I think the best drivers station at nationals. The kill switches and the little light up indicator looked SO AWESOME. Inspiration for next year I suppose.

This is fantastic, easily makes my list of top 3 Driver Station's I have ever seen. How did everything hold up during the season? Did the rest of the team have a steampunk theme?
