You will have to ask the FTC rules experts if you can use an FRC Power Distribution board in FTC.

For everyone else, the inductor, used in this implementation, dumps charge into the output capacitor(s) when the MOSFET turns off and the magnetic field collapses... <snip>

So, what was cool about that is being able to read both the laymen's explanation and the expert explanation together and actually have a chance at understanding the expert explanation.

My interpretation is that the PD is not legal for FTC.
R5 b
9. Non‐NXT electrical elements not specified above are not allowed,with the exception of RCX sensors.

Regardless of its legality, or lack there of, the PD board is huge compared to an FTC robot. It is also quite expensive in terms of how much you are paying for the few capabilities that are actually useful in FTC which would be limited to the very limited number of regulated outputs since the entire FTC electrical system is fused at a mere 20 amps as opposed to the 120+ amps the PD board was designed to cope with. Not even the smallest (20 Amp) breakers would be useful given the situation.
