Power Distribution Board visibility for inspection

Our team is using a long version of the Kit Bot drive train and we mounted our Power Distribution Board under the motors. We are now concerned about visibility during inspections as covered by the rule...

R42
The PD Board and all circuit breakers must be easily visible for Inspection.

We think it is visible, you can see the wires connected to the board, the breakers on the board, and the connections for the Radio power supply and cRIO. It does take some effort, looking around the motors and removing the battery, but we think the board is visible, the part that worries me is the word "easily".

Reconfiguring the electronics board at this point would be tough.

Looking for opinions of what we might face during inspection.
