Rule R904

R904 *OPERATOR CONSOLE physical requirements. The OPERATOR CONSOLE must not

A. be longer than 5 ft. (~152 cm),

B. be deeper than 1 ft. 2 in. (~35 cm) (excluding any items that are held or worn by the DRIVERS during the MATCH),

C. extend more than 6 ft. 6 in. (~198 cm) above the floor, or

D. attach to the FIELD (except via the loop tape as described in section 5.6.1 DRIVER STATIONS).

There is a 4 ft. 6 in. (~137 cm) long by 2 in. (nominal) wide strip of hook-and-loop tape (“loop” side) along the center of the DRIVER STATION support shelf that should be used to secure the OPERATOR CONSOLE to the shelf. See section 5.6.1 DRIVER STATIONS for details.

Please note that while there is no hard weight limit, OPERATOR CONSOLES that weigh more than 30 lbs. (~13 kg.) will invite extra scrutiny as they are likely to present unsafe circumstances.
