Design: FTC Driver Station

Design Details

This design was inspired by the SWYFT FTC Driver Station. We modified the design to use materials we had in stock and 3D printed gamepad holders.

The F310 Gamepad holder is modified from this Thingiverse design by twlum. We added a channel to the bottom of the holder to feed through a hook/loop cable strap.

Finished size is 11.75″ x 11.5″.
