Re: Power distribution question?

Steve,
I addition to all the posts above, I have to ask if the PD is going to be facing the floor under the robot? If so this is one of the riskiest things you can do. There is a lot of debris that ends up on the floor during a match. Your robot will be kicking this mostly metallic debris up into the PD. In addition...

H. The PD Board and all circuit breakers must be easily visible for inspection.
Although circuit breakers are generally pretty tight when first installed, repeated installation and withdrawal does tend to loosen them enough for vibration to cause them to fall out.
