Old Breaker Panel
 
Can our team use the Breaker Panel (power Distribution Center) from last year? It's the all-in-one panel so that 40A and 20A and 30A can be at the same location. Thanks a lot!

You know, the rules are very useful--and so is search. Doing a search led me to a reference to the following:

The EX18-12 Battery must use the Anderson Connector. The connector must be attached with either the copper SLU-35 lugs provided in the Terminal Supply Bag or appropriate crimp-on lug connectors. The Battery terminals and the connecting lugs must be insulated with shrink tubing and/or electrical tape. You may use additional lengths of #6 red and #6 black wire to reach the panels as needed to make the above connections. The circuit breakers must be readily accessible for inspection and testing at each competition event.

It's legal.

I believe that the GDC clarified in Update #3 that teams can use the IFI Breaker in addition to or in replacement of the breakers provided in the this year.

The old breaker panel is legal and so much more useful than this year's although it can take more components than we use....
