You and I both have that habit, but unfortunately a lot of rookie teams without adequate mentors haven't built those habits yet. As soon as I saw that picture in the setup guide, I thought "uh oh". Especially since the closest and largest power feed in the picture was one coming off of a 30A breaker. I'm willing to bet that is why someone that posted here hooked their camera up through the breaker.
One thing I would like to see is the manuals passed out to a group of high school students that have no FIRST experience and have them try to do the entire setup. That would help catch common errors and questions, and highlight where some clarification is needed. Maybe this is already done, I don't know.
