Are all of the connections (grounds) legal...you don't have to put all of the victor grounds into the terminal block?

No, you can still use the breaker panel from last year. That's what we're doing, just because our electronics guy likes it better. don't know why though.

As an electronics guy, i can say our whole team wanted to use the 2k5 panel this year. For us, while "Bigger" Its much nicer to layout and use. No need for the grounding stud, no need for multi fuse boxes. Less 6 gauge cable to run. Sure, you can make a nice light compact design with the independant blocks, like this design is, But for our team, the bigger panel is better.

Actually, if i had my perfect fuse panel:
Half the size, add 2 more 40 amp fuses (8 total then) and half the number of other fuses (10-20 total)

I kind of like this design. All the wires are short so there will be less loss. The wires are all marked as well as the fans. I think you should have a happening robot.

I liked last years because it was a heck of a lot lighter. The 40 amp block for this year weighs a ton. (comparitively of course, but then again, ounces always matter)
