Re: pic: 1538's Practice Electronics Board

That's an amazingly clean layout. It's almost ridiculously clean. I'd be concerned that any wiring issues would be hard to fix without ruining it.

Forgive the nitpicks, but is the cRIO insulated from the frame? And you do know that it's never been legal to replace the Spike fuses with breakers except on the one controlling the compressor, right? I'm also curious why the PDB isn't rotated 180 degrees so the power wires to the Victors and the Spikes don't cross each other, and the cRIO power can run a shorter distance, though I can see it would be a tradeoff against the battery position.
