+# general idea:
+- consolidate each rover control button to it's own component which is used standalone
+- rework mobile controls (throw away the current left column)
+- check for duplicates of any control components in redundant places
+- main culprits
+  - dock drive action
+  - mobile control columns
+  - night vision (headlight) button
+  - horn button
+  - camera tilt slider
+- also plan to rework mobile controls, but just ensure consolidation first
+  
+## dock / drive action:
+- ensure that it is one standalone component
+- revamp the system which allows it to hide / show other componenets that it "covers"
+
+## camera tilt slider:
+- the biggest issue currently
+  - it seems to be the root of the problems of things not being consolidated
+- ensure that it is ONLY the camera slider component
+- keep styling
+- add option for a vertical slider with just a degrees number at the top
+
+## night vision (headlight) button
+- center label, make it large and match the labels of the horn and drive/dock action labels
+- center status badge
+- allow height class to be changed for different modes
+  
+## horn button
+- the newest one
+- mostly good
+- for mobile layouts, make it hide the settings by default, and when shown make them nicely laid out for fitting in a skinny column on mobile
+
+
+# new mobile control columns:
+- get rid of the current entire left column with all the aux buttons, we are replacing it
+- the new left column:
+  - top section
+    - vertical camera slider
+    - night vision button
+  - middle section (two new buttons, side by side)
+    - all aux forward button
+    - all aux backward button
+  - bottom section
+    - horn button
+- the modified right column:
+  - no more camera slider
+  - no more night vision toggle
+  - still dock/drive action full-column, which minimizes itself
+  - when minimized, make the dock button a little taller
