caffel is an unknown quantity at this point
main breaker, or switch ?

Its required by the rules.

What I would like to say here is that in my 11 years with FIRST I have seen three of these fail.

Only one was a complete open and you could feel that it was broken beacuse the lever was floppy.

The other two would fail to 'snap' on, although they looked to be on,
about 2 out of 5 times, which created havoc until we figured it out and replaced it.



Onboard diagnostics ? Voltmeters ? Operators watching the displayed voltage ?
