Keep in mind <R37.H>

Quote:
<R37> The 12V battery, the main 120-amp circuit breaker, and the PD Board shall be connected as shown in Figure 3-4. In particular:
A. The battery must be connected to the ROBOT power system through the use of the Anderson Power Products (APP) connector.
B. The APP connector must be attached to the battery with either the copper lugs provided in the KOP or appropriately-rated and -sized lug connectors.
C. The battery terminals and the connecting lugs must be insulated with shrink tubing and/or electrical tape.
D. The main 120-amp circuit breaker must be directly connected to the hot (+) leg of the ROBOT-side APP connector. Only one 120-amp main circuit breaker is allowed. This breaker must not be bypassed.
E. The PD Board must be directly connected to the APP connector and main 120-amp circuit breaker. No other loads may be connected to the main 120-amp circuit breaker.
F. Each primary power connection between the battery and PD Board must be made with #6 AWG (4.11mm) red and black wire or larger.
G. The 120-amp circuit breaker must be quickly accessible from the exterior of the ROBOT.
H. The PD Board and all circuit breakers must be easily visible for inspection.
I don't seen any issue with it right now as it is easy visible right now turned on its side. I don't know what the rest of the robot will look like, but if it's difficult to flip over during inspection (due to size constraints, etc...) then you may have issues.

There are many inspectors browsing this forum that may be able to give you better advice.
