Dom,
Glad to help, please ask if you have any questions. When I refer to the wiring, inspectors need to check not only the wiring going out to the motors, they also need to check everything leaving the PD. If your design allows for the lid to be easily opened on the field while inside the robot, you might pass inspection. However, I would be hard pressed to say you meet all the specifications for visible indicators. The risk teams will run into is this. If field personnel can help with a simple problem on the field they will go out of their way to insure you play. If you make it difficult to do that, you will possibly be disabled for that match. On another note, I believe the spec for Victors is 2" clear above the fans. You can of course easily make a cutout in the case above the Vic and add screen to protect them. There are a variety of filter materials that can be velcroed in place over the screen. A simple furnace filter could provide the air flow while keeping metallic debris from entering the box.
